There are new requirements regarding the transport details included on the catch certificate:

  • As of January 2026, the exporter is responsible for filling in the details of the first transport from point of export included in the Appendix to the EUs updated catch certificate template, indicating the port or place of departure and the means of transport. This section is not applicable for direct landing applications
  • This section cannot be left blank
  • Exporters can provide the details known to them at the time of creating the catch certificate if the transport from the point of export is not known.
  • Where additional modes of transport are known, these can be added manually to the catch certificate. If no further transport details are known by the exporter at the point of creating the catch certificate the importer can be requested to provide it.
  • The point of destination must also be included on the catch certificate.
  • If the point of destination is not known when creating a catch certificate, the first point of entry into the EU can be used.
