Government Resolution No. 512 “On the delivery of catches of aquatic biological resources obtained (caught) during industrial fishing in the internal sea waters of the Russian Federation, in the territorial sea of the Russian Federation, on the continental shelf of the Russian Federation, in the exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation and in the Caspian Sea, and fish products produced from them to the seaports of the Russian Federation, as well as to other delivery locations”.

This Government Resolution primarily addresses regulations concerning the delivery of aquatic biological resources and their derived fish products obtained through industrial fisheries within the Russian Federation's jurisdiction, including inland waters, territorial sea, continental shelf, exclusive economic zone, and the Caspian Sea. Its objectives are to establish procedures for the transportation, control, and export of these resources, aligning with the broader legal framework of fisheries management and resource conservation. The regulation aims to streamline control processes at various points of entry and exit, ensuring sustainable utilization of aquatic resources. Key measures outlined include the mandatory delivery of catches and fish products to designated Russian seaports, with specific provisions for anadromous fish to be brought to territories adjacent to fishing sites. The regulation mandates that port authorities, along with border, customs, health, veterinary, and Federal State control agencies, conduct continuous and coordinated oversight of aquatic biological resources and fish products, especially those extracted from the continental shelf and EEZ. It specifies that the processing, port, border, customs, sanitary, and veterinary controls should not exceed three hours, with similar time constraints for waiting periods during discharge and inspection procedures. These measures are designed to facilitate efficient control while maintaining compliance with legal standards. Implementation responsibilities are assigned to port authorities, border, customs, and veterinary agencies, with control activities to be carried out at docks or port raids. The regulation stipulates that control procedures are to be conducted in a manner that ensures compliance with established timelines, emphasizing the importance of procedural efficiency. The document also delineates the scope of federal oversight, particularly concerning the export and processing of aquatic biological resources, and specifies the operational timelines to ensure timely clearance and enforcement, thereby supporting the legal and policy objectives of sustainable fisheries management and resource conservation.
