Samoa (formerly Western Samoa) exports a modest range of goods to the US market, with fish products — particularly canned tuna processed at the Pago Pago-adjacent facilities — representing a historically significant category, alongside coconut cream, cocoa, and handicrafts. Fish and seafood imports are subject to FDA oversight, including prior notice and potential detention if the exporting facility is not in good standing. Importers should note that Samoa (country code 6150) is distinct from American Samoa, a US territory, and the two carry different customs treatment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
American Samoa is a US territory, so goods produced there and meeting applicable rules of origin are treated as domestic for most customs purposes. Samoa (code 6150) is an independent nation, and its goods are subject to standard US import procedures including CBP entry, applicable duties, and FDA or other agency review. Correct country coding is essential to avoid misclassification.
Canned fish imports must comply with FDA's seafood HACCP regulations, and the foreign processing facility must be registered with FDA. Importers are required to submit FDA prior notice before arrival. If FDA has placed a Samoan facility on import alert, shipments may be detained without physical examination until the alert is resolved. Consulting a licensed customs broker or regulatory specialist is recommended.
