On March 11, 2024, according to the South Korea's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF), the Korea Coast Guard will jointly inspect the origin label of imported aquatic products from March 11 to April 12, and crack down on the illegal labeling of the origin of imported aquatic products.

In this special inspection, it is planned to use the circulation history information of imported seafood to focus on more than 2,500 enterprises dealing in major items such as live red snapper, live scallops, and cold pollock, which have a large import volume and a high proportion of detection. False declaration of the country of origin is punishable by up to seven years in prison or a fine of up to 100 million won. Those who fail to specify the country of origin are fined up to 50,000 won to 10 million won.
