CBP Restricting Imports of New Zealand Fish After CIT Injunction

CBP is imposing “immediate import restrictions on fish and fish products from the New Zealand inshore set net and trawl fisheries deployed in the range of the Maui dolphin” to implement a Court of International Trade injunction issued Nov. 28 (see 2211280053), the agency said in a CSMS message. “To effectuate the court order, snapper, tarakihi, spotted dogfish, trevally, warehou, hoki, barracouta, mullet, and gurnard fish and fish products imported into the United States” under a set of Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheadings listed in the CSMS message and “caught with a set net or trawl within the Maui dolphin range, are prohibited from entry into the United States,” CBP said. The National Marine Fisheries Service “is working with Government of New Zealand to establish Certificate of Admissibility procedures and additional details will be published when available,” the message said.
