Last updated: April 2026 dataAlbacore (Thunnus alalunga), also known as longfinned tuna, is the species most associated with premium canned 'white meat' tuna, but fresh and chilled whole fish under this heading serve sashimi and foodservice channels. A single tariff line, 0302310000, covers the product form excluding fillets, livers, and roe. Fiji and French Polynesia are the top US suppliers, reflecting the species' abundance in the South Pacific, where longline fleets operate under regional fisheries management agreements that can affect catch availability and documentation requirements.

Albacore caught in the Western and Central Pacific may require catch certificates or documentation consistent with the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) measures. Importers sourcing from Fiji or French Polynesia should confirm that the exporting vessel and flag state are in good standing with applicable regional fishery management organizations, as NOAA's seafood import monitoring rules may require harvest event data for certain tuna species.
Heading 030231 covers whole or dressed albacore, explicitly excluding fillets, livers, and roe. Fresh or chilled albacore fillets are classified under HTS Chapter 03.04 instead. The distinction matters because the applicable duty rates and statistical reporting differ between the two forms, so the product's processing state at time of importation determines the correct heading.
