NOAA adopts electronic reporting of fishing trade data
(UNITED STATES, 8/4/2016)
A new final regulation published by NOAA Fisheries will make it possible to streamline and consolidate trade documentation procedures within the International Trade Data System, and require electronic information through a single automated portal.
President Obama, by Executive Order in 2014 -- Streamlining the Export/Import Process for America's Businesses -- mandated the use of a single electronic system, the International Trade Data System (ITDS), to streamline transactions for the import and export of products regulated by any U.S. Federal Agency.
By consolidating existing international trade permits under the Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) Program and Highly Migratory Species International Trade Program (HMS ITP), and expanding the scope to include regulated seafood products under the Tuna Tracking Verification Program (TTVP), a single consolidated permit will also provide a more streamlined and cost-effective approach for collecting import and export documentation.
U.S. consumers can have even greater confidence that their seafood is legally caught as ITDS will allow NOAA Fisheries to better identify and stop shipments of illegally caught seafood more effectively.
The ITDS is an important step in the longer-term implementation of a risk-based approach to seafood traceability.
