HÀ NỘI – Frozen shrimp exported to the Republic of Korea (RoK) from member countries of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) must undergo quarantine checks before shipping to the market. South Korea has added frozen shrimp products to the list of seafood products that must undergo quarantine checks before entering the country from April 1, 2017. At present, frozen abalone and oyster are required to undergo quarantine checks before being exported to the country. The RoK has recognised six centres in Việt Nam that qualify to undertake quarantine checks on seafood products exported to the country. From April 1, the centres must cooperate with South Korea’s relevant offices to implement quarantine checks on Vietnamese frozen shrimp products, chinhphu.vn reported.
