UK fish and seafood remain a critical part of the country’s export portfolio. Latest data from HM Revenue & Customs shows the EU continues to account for the majority of UK seafood export value, highlighting the sector’s strong reliance on European markets.
Key destinations include France, Spain and Netherlands, where demand for fresh, chilled and frozen UK products remains resilient.
Beyond whole fish and fillets, there is growing opportunity in value-added marine products — including the export of fish-derived gelatine and collagen for use in food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors. These products require precise classification, certification and regulatory alignment, particularly when exporting to the EU and other regulated markets.
However, seafood exports come with complexity — from Export Health Certificates (EHCs) and catch documentation to evolving SPS requirements. For perishable goods and specialised derivatives like gelatine and collagen, documentation accuracy is critical.
That’s where Amivet Exports supports exporters:
Veterinary-led export certification and EHC management
Guidance on HS classification and product status
Compliance support to reduce border delays and protect consignments
For UK seafood businesses looking to expand confidently into EU and international markets, robust export compliance isn’t optional — it’s strategic.
