Export Health Certification
Consignments of fish/fishery products and molluscan shellfish exported to third countries are accompanied by an Export Health Certificate. These Export Health Certificates are issued by the SFPA, the competent authority under Irish and European legislation, in respect of fishery products manufactured or processed in Ireland.
Export Health Certificates are not required when a consignment is being exported within the European Union.
A food business operator (FBO) that requires Export Health Certificates to third countries must give reasonable notice (a minimum of two working days) to their local SFPA port office to allow sufficient time for their application to be processed.
Application forms for an Export Health Certificate may be obtained from your local SFPA port office or downloaded from the links below. Completed application forms should be sent to the relevant local port office.
