South Korea has recently eased trade barriers for Brazilian exporters by authorizing the import of ten shrimp-based products from Brazil without the need for an International Health Certificate. This move, which includes products like Ebi and Torpedo shrimp, requires Brazilian exporters to register with the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
