Tridge summary

The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) of Ireland has issued a reminder to local exporters about the export restrictions on Bivalve Molluscs (such as oysters, mussels, and razor clams) to the USA.

Any inquiries about this advisory can be directed to SFPATradeandAudit@sfpa.ie.
