Understanding CITES Appendix II Compliance for Sea Cucumber
Since August 2020, Holothuria scabra and related teatfish species have been governed by CITES Appendix II to prevent illegal unmanaged wild harvesting. For commercial wholesale buyers, purchasing from unpermitted sources carries severe legal risks, including customs seizure and hefty port fines.
Because Globe Multi Traders operates registered, legally permitted ocean aquaculture pens under the Sri Lanka National Aquaculture Development Authority (NAQDA) and Department of Fisheries, our stock qualifies for expedited legal export documentation with official Non-Detriment Findings (NDF).
