How much does Chain of Custody certification cost?
The cost of Chain of Custody certification are agreed upon between you and your certifier and is mainly composed of the time the auditor spends (ask for their day rate and whether they will always charge for a full day) and their travel and accommodation expenses. In addition to cost, you may also want to consider their responsiveness, availability and other factors important to you. The time your auditor spends on-site will depend on the size of your company, the number of sites involved in handling fish, the level of processing involved and the complexity of your business. If the product changes form a number of times and many sites are involved, the process may take more of the certifier’s time.
