Review findings and share

Work through missing evidence and differences, record the resolution and share the report with the person taking the next step.

  • Clear findings and next actions
  • Document versions and review history
  • Official submission happens separately

FIRST, THE BASICS

What is IUUReady?
What does IUU mean?

IUUReady is a software tool for people preparing fish-import paperwork for Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales.

01

IUU is a fishing issue

IUU means illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. Import rules use documents about catches and the supply chain to help tackle it.

Understand IUU and the paperwork
02

The paperwork needs to agree

A supplier sends an invoice, a packing list and applicable certificates. References, fish descriptions and weights can differ between them. Someone needs to check why.

See an example comparison
03

IUUReady helps you check

Upload the files for one shipment. IUUReady reads selected details and highlights differences or gaps. You check the originals, resolve questions and prepare the next submission.

Follow your first shipment

The tool supports document review. It does not detect illegal fishing itself, issue certificates or approve an import.

BEFORE YOU START

A few useful answers.

Know where preflight helps and which decisions stay with your team.

Browse all questions
What is IUUReady?

IUUReady is software for checking fish-import documents before you submit them. Create a record for one shipment, upload your supplier's files and review highlighted differences in selected references, fish descriptions or weights. Your team checks the originals and completes the official submission.

What does IUU mean?

IUU stands for illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. These categories concern fishing that breaks rules, is not reported properly, or is inconsistent with the relevant conservation arrangements. Import documentation is part of the official process used to tackle that activity.

Why is this relevant to my import paperwork?

An invoice, packing list and catch documents describe different parts of a shipment. A reference may differ, a fish description may need clarification or the stated net weights may not agree. IUUReady brings selected comparisons into view so you know which detail to inspect and which question to ask.

Who is it for?

People preparing fish-import paperwork for Great Britain: importers who collect supplier documents, brokers who need a clear pack, and operations colleagues who review the details. Great Britain means England, Scotland and Wales; confirm separate requirements for other destinations.

Do I need to be an expert to start?

You can start with a shipment description and the original files your organization is authorised to handle. The first-shipment guide and glossary explain the steps and terms. The tool does not replace the importer, broker or authority's assessment of the requirements.

Does IUUReady submit anything through IPAFFS?

No. IPAFFS is the UK government's Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System. Your importer or agent completes the applicable notification there. IUUReady helps prepare and compare documents; it does not submit official notifications or customs and IUU declarations.

Does preflight complete mean the shipment is approved?

No. Preflight complete means no unresolved findings remain under the currently applied IUUReady checks. It is separate from official clearance or legal eligibility. Your team must inspect the originals and confirm current requirements before submitting.

Loading journal articles…

Preflight complete means the applied review is complete. IUUReady does not submit IPAFFS, customs or IUU declarations, grant clearance or determine legal eligibility. Your team checks the originals and current requirements before filing.
