The UK seafood industry remains calm as Brexit border checks finally become reality

The UK seafood industry is not expecting significant business impact from the introduction of Brexit-related border checks on documentation for products entering the UK in the short term. However, there is still uncertainty about the potential impact of physical border checks starting April 30. The new rules and documentation requirements will also apply to whitefish and farmed salmon from non-EU members Norway and Iceland as the UK standardizes checks on goods from the European Union and the European Economic Area.
