Online seafood trading platform Gfresh is signing an industry-first agreement with the China Certification and Inspection Group Canada (CCICCA) at the 2016 BC Seafood Expo.

Gfresh's VP and co-founder Anthony Wan said the agreement will give Canadian exporters on the online platform the "quickest and easiest trade route into China yet."

Following this agreement, suppliers on Gfresh will be given the assurance that their goods are customs passable before leaving their Canadian departure port, potentially shaving weeks off delivery time, according to a release from Gfresh.
