India wants EU to relax sampling norms for fish exports, reduce clearance time
NEW DELHI: India has asked the European Union (EU) to make its market friendlier for Indian exporters of fisheries by reducing the sampling frequency of exports to 10 per cent from 50 per cent, allowing the de-listed establishments that have improved their practices to be listed again and reducing the clearance time for marine exports at the Customs.
“The increased frequency of testing added to the costs of exporters and affected their competitiveness,” an official pointed out.
Two audit processes Since 2016, the EU has carried out two audits of the processes followed in the Country and India has given all the necessary clarification on the audit findings. “The Commerce Ministry has now asked the EU to consider lowering the sampling frequency to 10 per cent as in the past,” the official said.
The EU is the third largest market for India’s seafood exports. India’s exports of seafood to the EU in 2017-18 were valued at $1.11 billion with shrimps being the major export item. Its total export of fisheries during the year was at $7.1 billion.
Long clearance time Another issue being faced by fisheries exporters is a relatively long clearance time at Customs which has gone up to 15-30 days as compared to 7 days earlier, according to the Commerce Ministry.
India has asked the EU to restart electronic clearance and reduce the clearance time as it attracts huge demurrage cost for exporters and consignments get delayed.
