Since the beginning of 2024, China has required IUU (Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated) certificates for the export of certain aquatic bioresources from Russia's Primorsky Krai, leading to the issuance of 3909 certificates over ten months, covering a total of 454.9 thousand tons of fish and seafood. The main exports include pollock, herring, crabs, and Pacific salmon, with October seeing the highest volume of batches inspected. The IUU certification is crucial for maintaining the legality of these exports, adhering to intergovernmental agreements between Russia and China, and making China the primary consumer of Russian fish.
