7. The "Species Name and Product Code" refer to the species' English name, scientific name and the product code respectively. The product code is based on its six-digit tariff code under the Harmonised System, which is made available online by the EC through the website http://mkaccdb.eu.int on the page on Applied Tariff Database. To illustrate, for frozen skipjack, the scientific name shall be Katsuwonus pelamis and the product code shall be 0303.43;

8. The box, "Catch area and Dates," shall indicate where and when the catches were made. The catch area may either be the Philippine EEZ or Philippine Archipelagic Waters (Philippine AW), High Seas or Coastal State EEZ (such as PNG EEZ), while the dates refer to the dates when the catches were made as reflected in the logsheet;

9. The box "Estimated weight to be landed" shall be filled in if all the fish from one landing, either in the flag State or another port State, is exported to the EU in one consignment. The "Estimated weight to be landed," is the weight in kilograms, to be filled out by the fishing company, which may only be estimates of the gross weight to be landed;

10. In all other cases, for instance when fish is exported live or when only part of the landed catch is exported or when products are processed in the flag State prior to exportation to the EU, the box "Estimated live weight" should be used and only the weight of the product to be exported should be included in the box "Estimated live weight."

The general format of the Transshipment Certificate is shown in Annex 5; cIDHSC

15. The box, "Transshipment authorization within a port area," shall be filled out by the competent authority responsible for the control of the transshipment port of the country where the transshipment takes place. A copy of the Transshipment Certificate evidencing the act of transshipment at port shall be submitted to the BFAR Regional Office where the fish is to be finally unloaded for the verification and subsequent issuance of a Catch Validation Certificate, if appropriate. If the transshipment was conducted at port in PNG, a copy of the original Fish Origin Declaration Form issued by the competent authority shall be submitted;

16. The box, "Name and Address of the Exporter," shall be accomplished by the Exporter, who may be a cannery, a processor or the fishing company if it directly exports its catch to a member country of the EU;

17. The box, "Flag State Authority Validation," shall be accomplished and signed by the authorized signatories of the BFAR Central Office or BFAR Regional Office only after they are satisfied with the information in the catch certificate and have no grounds to doubt its exhaustiveness and accuracy and the compliance with applicable management and conservation measures.

18. The exporter shall provide the transport detail in Section 10 of the regular catch certificate, which must be summarized in the document "Transport Details" and forms part of the RCC.

19. The exporter shall prepare and fill out such number of the transport details and the validating authority shall validate such number of RCCs as may be necessary to correspond to the number of consignments being shipped out which have been derived from the verified weight of the landed fish catch.

20. Sections 11 to 12 of the RCC shall be left blank as these Sections pertain to the Importer and Customs Authority of the importing member country of the European Union.

SECTION 12. The Consignment Catch Certificate. — The Consignment CC is the regular catch certificate issued after processing. It shall be accomplished by the fishing company and shall contain the same information as those contained in the Mother CC except for the document number, final product description and code and actual weight of the consignment. The Cannery Code and Cannery Sequence Number shall be added to the document number of the Mother CC to generate the Consignment CC's document number.

For instance, using the previous example of the Mother CC of Frabelle Corporation the code of the cannery which processed the catch and the cannery sequence code shall be added to Mother CC's document number, which is608-BFAR12-FFC-2011-0001. Thus, the final document number appearing on the Consignment CC will be608-BFAR12-FFC-2011-0001-GTC-0001. The final product code and description shall also be supplied; for example, for canned skipjack, the description of the product shall be canned tuna and the product code shall be 1604.14. The codes for all registered canneries are listed in Annex 4.

The weight of the consignment shall be provided by the cannery or processing plant to the fishing company for the box "Estimated live weight". In support thereto, the cannery or processor shall submit a letter informing BFAR of the weight of the consignment. The total weight of the consignment weight indicated in the various Consignment CCs must not exceed the verified weight landed indicated in the Mother CC. Sections 6 and 7 shall be left blank in the Consignment CC even if transshipment is declared in the Mother CC.

SECTION 13. The Catch Validation Certificate (CVC). — The Catch Validation Certificate is a document issued by BFAR certifying the species and volume of fish landed by a fishing vessel in a particular fish port in the Philippines. Since most catches are unloaded by carrier vessels that consolidate catch from one or more catcher vessels, the CVC shall also indicate the species and volume of fish per catcher vessel. For this purpose, the carrier vessel must provide a Transshipment Certificate. The species and weight indicated in the CVC shall be the basis of the weight that will be indicated under the box "Verified weight landed (kg) where appropriate". Annex 6 contains the amended format of the CVC. ISCTcH

SECTION 14. Procedures in Securing the RCC. —

1. The fishing company shall properly accomplish the RCC in triplicate, in accordance with the aforementioned instructions and shall submit these to BFAR together with the documentary requirements stated in Sections 9 and 10.

2. The BFAR shall evaluate and verify the documents and the information contained therein and if satisfied of the completeness, truthfulness and correctness of the data and the RCC's exhaustiveness and accuracy, as well as compliance with applicable management and conservation measures, the authorized signatory shall accomplish, sign, and affix the official dry and wet seal in Section 9 of the RCC. Otherwise, the RCC shall not be validated and the same together with the documentary requirements shall be returned to the fishing company, which shall be informed of the lacking requirement/s or reason for the rejection. 

3. Two (2) sets of the validated RCC shall be released to the fishing company within three (3) working days from the date of application. One (1) set shall be retained by BFAR for record purposes.

4. The fishing company shall furnish the cannery or processor that purchased the catch with one (1) set of the validated RCC and retain the other set for record purposes.

5. Should the cannery or processor export the catch without processing, it shall use the validated RCC to accompany the consignment. Should processing be undertaken by the cannery or processor, the latter shall advise the fishing company to request the issuance of a Consignment CC by BFAR. The cannery or processor shall provide the fishing company the final product description, actual weight of the consignment and the corresponding product code.

6. The fishing company shall accomplish and sign in triplicate the Consignment CC, which shall contain the information from the Mother CC and the information provided by the cannery or processor in Step 5. It shall submit the same to BFAR for validation. No documentary requirements shall be attached to Consignment CCs except the letter from the cannery or processor informing BFAR of the consignment weight of the product. BFAR shall then release the same following Steps 2 and 3.

7. The fishing company shall furnish the cannery or processor with one (1) copy of validated Consignment CC for the latter's use for its exports to EU and shall retain the other copy for its own records.
