How do I compare the yield of two different Sardines listings?

You compare the size grade or count per kilogram to determine how many individual fish fit into a standard kilogram. A lower count per kilogram indicates larger fish and higher yield per unit. You must also subtract the glaze percentage from the total weight to find the actual edible net weight. This calculation reveals the true cost per edible kilogram for your processing line.

What proof does a seller provide for Fish and crustaceans origin?

The seller must provide catch documentation that traces the lot back to the specific vessel or farm. This document links the physical product to the competent-authority establishment number on the health certificate. Without this chain of custody, the shipment cannot be processed by your local authorities. Ensure the establishment number on the paperwork matches the facility that produced the goods.

Why does the glaze percentage change the net weight in the price?

Glaze is the layer of ice formed during freezing to protect the product from freezer burn. The invoice price often includes this ice weight, which does not contribute to the edible portion. You must calculate the net weight by removing the glaze percentage from the gross weight. This adjustment reveals the actual cost of the protein you will receive at your destination.

How does reefer plug availability affect the landed cost of this shipment?

If reefer plugs are scarce at the destination port, you may face demurrage charges while waiting for a slot. These fees add directly to the landed cost of the seafood supplies. Securing a confirmed plug reservation before the vessel arrives prevents unexpected storage fees. Always verify the terminal's capacity for your specific container type before finalizing the logistics plan.

What happens if the catch documentation does not match the health certificate?

Customs authorities will reject the shipment if the catch documentation does not align with the health certificate details. The competent-authority establishment number on both documents must correspond to the same facility. Any discrepancy halts the clearance process immediately. You will bear the cost of storage or return shipping while the seller resolves the paperwork error.

How do season and quota openings impact the price of Seafood Supplies?

Price stability depends on the current season and whether quota openings have increased the available supply. When quotas open, the sudden influx of fresh catch often drives prices down temporarily. Conversely, out-of-season listings carry a premium due to scarcity. A quote is only valid until the next quota cycle begins or the season changes significantly.
