Identification Marking of Fishery Products imported into the EU

Summary

The identification marking of products of animal origin is an important part of the traceability system. This guidance was drawn up specifically to address the identification marking of fishery products being imported into the European Union. The emphasis is compliance with the traceability requirements in Annex II of European Regulation 853/2004, i.e. the identification mark (previously known as the health mark) and how it should appear on the packaging of the consignment.
