Article 6 Re-export certificatesF1
United Kingdom
It is prohibited for a person to re-export swordfish or bigeye tuna unless—
the licensing authority for the area from which the fish is being re-exported has validated a re-export certificate which accompanies the fish in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 3, and
the fish is also accompanied by a copy of the validated statistical document used for import of the fish under Article 4.
Where a person re-exports swordfish or bigeye tuna from the United Kingdom, the person must complete a re-export certificate for the fish and request its validation by the licensing authority for the area from which the fish is being re-exported.
Upon a request made under paragraph 2, the licensing authority must not validate the re-export certificate unless the authority is satisfied—
that the fish being re-exported corresponds to the fish originally imported under the statistical document referred to in paragraph 1(b), and
that the information contained in the re-export certificate is complete and accurate.
A person who contravenes the prohibition in paragraph 1 is guilty of an offence.
