Live Bivalve Mollusc Production Site Identification Number (SIN) codes

Summary

Pectinidae (e.g. scallops), tunicates (e.g. sea squirts, sea cucumbers and sea urchins) and marine gastropods (e.g. winkles and whelks etc.) which are harvested and landed in Great Britain, are permitted to be traded without a Site Identification Number (SIN) code (previously called GBR code), as they are not filter feeders as specified in the relevant regulation.

All other live bivalve molluscs (LBMs) will need a SIN code. The list of SIN codes can be downloaded below.
