Following the direction of the Prime Minister and the official notice from the Ministry of Agriculture & Environment, the Vietnam Tuna Association (VinaTuna) requests all member companies to strictly comply with regulations on importing wild-caught seafood that does not violate IUU rules.

Key requirements for businesses:

✅ Verify the legal origin of raw materials before import.

✅ Review all traceability documents for imported and domestic lots until export to the EU.

✅ Take full legal responsibility for all documents and information provided to competent authorities.

VinaTuna calls on the business community to act proactively and responsibly to help Vietnam lift the EU “yellow card” and strengthen the reputation of our tuna industry as transparent, sustainable, and globally integrated.
