Seafood exports MMPA USA
Vietnamese seafood exporters face tighter access to the US market from January 1, 2026, as the Marine Mammal Protection Act import rules take full effect, requiring Certificates of Admissibility for affected shipments.
A seafood business leader in Ho Chi Minh City told Thanh Nien the new NOAA rules will disrupt exports, noting certification procedures in Vietnam remain complex and untested, forcing firms to consider alternative markets.
Le Hang, deputy secretary general of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Processing and Export, said rising US tariffs and technical barriers are pushing exporters to diversify, though market restructuring will take time.
Authorities estimate US-bound seafood exports at US$1.8 billion annually, with about US$512 million potentially affected.
