Trade overview

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.
