Seafood Import Monitoring Program Traceability

SIMP requires point-of-harvest-to-entry chain-of-custody data for more than 1,100 seafood species entering the US, and NOAA’s FY2026 funding directs the program specifically toward closing gaps its own action plan identified, including forced-labor risk.

Why AuthiChain

• Catch, landing, and custody events per shipment hashed and anchored, so a SIMP record survives a transfer between processors without a re-keyed paper trail
• Signed records verify offline against the shipment’s identifier — a customs or NOAA reviewer does not need portal access to check what an importer submitted
• Chain-of-custody events layer onto the same record model already used for DSCSA lot tracking and EUDR batch geolocation, not a separate schema per regulation

How it works

Issue a unique identifier per unit, anchor its record on-chain for tamper-evidence, and let anyone verify it with a single scan. Plans start at $49/mo.

FAQ

Does this replace SIMP reporting to NOAA?

No — SIMP submissions go through NOAA’s International Trade Data System. Anchoring makes the supporting chain-of-custody documentation tamper-evident; it does not change where or how the SIMP report itself gets filed.

Which species does SIMP cover?

A risk-based list of more than 1,100 species. NOAA’s FY2026 action-plan funding is aimed at strengthening enforcement and traceability across that list, not narrowing it.
