Shellfish aquaculture

Shellfish exports from the UK to the EU have been affected by restrictions on imports from third countries (which the UK is classified as since leaving the EU). These do not allow the import to the EU of bivalve molluscs unless they are harvested from areas with the cleanest water classification or have been purified (or depurated) prior to export. This restriction did not apply to the UK when it was a Member State.
