Due to the economic importance of the fishing sector in Ensenada, the Baja California State Commission for Protection against Sanitary Risks (Coepris) has promoted the issuance of export certificates for live products within a period of no more than 24 hours.
The head of the agency, Evaristo Ruiz Palafox, stated that the issuance of these certificates has been expedited, proof of which is that during 2024, 2,634 were issued and in the month of January, 333 were issued.
“The inspection and certification system applied by Cofepris has the recognition of the European Union, the People's Republic of China and Brazil, thanks to the fact that the shipments are reviewed, where it is guaranteed that the product is perfectly packaged and refrigerated in case it requires it,” he explained.
The official said that all the certificates submitted must be paginated, in order to maintain adequate control over both their issuance and reception in the different countries, since, in the event of needing to track a shipment, these sheets will allow tracking of the producing company, where the packaging was done and who transported it.
