Temporary fish exports guidance
This guidance is to be used at times when the Fish Exports digital service is offline for a significant amount of time, and a decision has been made to invoke manual arrangements.
Exporting fish to the EU
The digital Fish Exports Service is currently unavailable. To enable trade continuity editable PDF versions of the forms detailed below are available.
To request blank documents for export, please submit a request using the following form: Fish Exports Service - Document Request Form
This will ensure that your request can be actioned in a timely manner, requesting blank documents by any other means may result in delays.
For any additional queries please email ukfishexports@marinemanagement.org.uk
Please only email if you require a catch certificate, storage document or processing statement within the next 4 hours.
If you require additional support during this time, please contact the Fish Exports Helpline on 0330 159 1989. Agents are available from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).
