We would like to draw attention to the fact that, as from 1st of December, a catch certificate must accompany mackerel catch imported to Japan. The Directorate of Fisheries is making the final updates to the catch certificate system so that Japan can be selected as the importing country for certification.

If you experience problems in obtaining a certificate for Japan, please send an e-mail to fiskistofa@fiskistofa.is
