It applies to every foreign hatchery that wants to export them to Malaysia<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, a foreign hatchery must now pass a paper check by the DoF before Malaysia approves its live shrimp. Some hatcheries will also face a visit, in person or by video link<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Malaysia changing for live shrimp imports?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malaysia already controls imports of live aquatic animals under Section 40 of the Fisheries Act 1985 (Act 317)<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. That section deals with the control of live fish. The new notice adds a check on the hatchery that produces the shrimp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoF told the World Trade Organization (WTO) about the plan in a notice numbered G\/SPS\/N\/MYS\/72<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The WTO notice is a sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) notice, which covers rules on human, animal and plant health. The Vietnam SPS Office, Vietnam&#8217;s official contact point for these notices, lists the first version as dated <strong>30 January 2026<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\" id=\"hsn-cite-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A revised version, G\/SPS\/N\/MYS\/72\/Rev.1, followed on <strong>16 March 2026<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. The office responsible is the Fisheries Biosecurity Division of the DoF<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did the Department of Fisheries act?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malaysia imports live shrimp broodstock and post-larvae to develop its shrimp farms<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The DoF says moving live aquatic animals carries high disease risks. It wants stronger checks before import to keep out animal diseases that cross borders<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice gives three goals<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stronger assurance<\/strong> that imports meet Malaysia&#8217;s aquatic animal health rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keeping out diseases<\/strong> that spread between countries, and stopping them from settling in Malaysia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean sources<\/strong>, meaning live shrimp come only from hatcheries with good disease controls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revised notice states the aim more simply: to make sure aquatic animals are disease-free<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. It lists <strong>animal health<\/strong> as the only objective<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the two-stage hatchery check work?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoF will use a step-by-step check based on risk<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The first stage is a paper review. The second stage is a hatchery visit, and only when needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process runs in this order<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The hatchery&#8217;s country sends documents to the DoF through its own government animal health office, called the competent authority.<\/li>\n<li>The DoF reviews the documents before it gives import approval.<\/li>\n<li>If the papers are enough, the documents alone decide the case.<\/li>\n<li>If questions remain, the DoF may audit the hatchery, either remotely or in person.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>documentary audit is the main check<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The DoF may look at biosecurity plans, disease monitoring, laboratory testing, record-keeping and tracing systems, and official supervision by the competent authority<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will the DoF visit a foreign hatchery?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An on-site audit is not automatic and will not apply to every hatchery<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.
