  Requirements to documentation for the export of fish

  Tourist fishers must document that fishing has taken place under the direction of a registered tourist fishing enterprise when exporting fish. This documentation will be possible to produce in a new app, which the Directorate is currently developing. However, until the app has completed development, tourist fishers must document fishing under the direction of a registered enterprise in another way.

  This requirement to documentation applies to those using the new export quota of 20 kg from the turn of the year. Those exporting only 10 kg or less are not required to document affiliation with a registered enterprise.

  • the registered tourist fishing enterprise’s name, address and business registration number
  • the name of the person or persons that have fished under direction of the enterprise
  • the period of the stay 
  • how many persons the stay applies to

  Norwegian Customs will also accept a printout of what the individual tourist fisher has reported to have fished to the enterprise. Such a printout must state:

  • the enterprise’s identity
  • the person who has been fishing

  The individuals named in the document must be present when the fish is exported from the country.
