Tariff treatment, trade-agreement coverage, and live monthly U.S. import/export data for Seychelles.

Trade overview
The Seychelles is a small island nation in the western Indian Ocean whose US trade profile is dominated by fish and seafood — particularly tuna — processed at its Indian Ocean port facilities. The archipelago's strategic location makes it a processing hub for tuna caught across a wide ocean zone, and US importers of canned or processed tuna from Seychelles should be attentive to FDA food-safety requirements and rules-of-origin standards that govern whether the fish qualifies as Seychellois in origin. Trade volumes are modest but consistent, reflecting the country's specialized role in the global tuna supply chain.
