A BC-based trading company has been fined $60,000 for the illegal import of 434 kg of fins from a threatened shark species.
According to the federal environment ministry, Kiu Yick Trading Co. Ltd. was sentenced to pay the fine after pleading guilty to unlawfully importing species protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), in contravention of the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act.
The charge stemmed from an investigation by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) which found that, in February 2018, Kiu Yick Trading Co. Ltd. had unlawfully imported several thousand Carcharhinus falciformis (silky shark) fins, a species protected by CITES.
