Weight Guidance

Estimated Live Weight (kg) – This weight category should be used when only part of the landed catch is being exported. This is the weight of the product being shipped free of any preservatives, ice or other added materials. The Estimated Live Weight will always be the same as the Product Weight.

 

 

Estimated Landing Weight (kg) – This weight category is to be completed only when all the fish from one landing is being exported in one consignment. Please remember your provided amount should only include the weight of the product without ice, brine or any other added materials.

 

Note: A weight can only be entered in either the Estimated Live Weight or the Estimated Landing Weight, but not in both.

 

 

Verified Landing Weight (kg) – The official weight of the landed catch for the provided catch dates. This weight is recorded by a Dockside Monitor, at the time the catch is landed. It should only to be entered if it is available. This field is not a mandatory field.

 

 

Product Weight: The product weight must not include any added materials, such as brine or ice. Verify the Product Weight by comparing it to the Estimated Landing or Estimated Live Weight and Verified Landing Weight to ensure additional weight was not added.

 

Note: The Product Weight should always be the same as the Estimated Landing or Estimated Live Weight.
