SEAFOOD IMPORT QUESTIONS

Asked on this corridor.

How does seafood import usually get paid or pay suppliers?CAD (fresh), Net 30 (frozen), immediate (auctions). LC for large frozen consignments.

What documents tend to travel with the payment?Health Certificate, Catch Certificate (IUU), Temperature Log, MSC Chain of Custody, and related trade evidence.

Can we pay a supplier who only accepts a domestic transfer in their own country?That is the point of a Local Business Account. Where we hold the rail, the payment arrives as a domestic transfer with your reference on it.
