Last updated: August 2026 dataAlbacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), frozen in whole or dressed form excluding fillets, livers, and roes, is a commercially significant species for the canned tuna industry and for sashimi-grade markets that prefer whole-fish cold-chain handling. South Korea and Taiwan are the leading suppliers under this heading, with Vietnam and Canada also contributing volume — a supplier mix that reflects the broad geographic reach of longline tuna fleets operating across the Pacific. Importers should be aware that tuna from certain origins may be subject to dolphin-safe certification requirements under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and FDA prior notice and HACCP compliance are mandatory. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA compliance specialist for admissibility and documentation requirements.

Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, tuna sold in the US as 'dolphin-safe' must be accompanied by documentation certifying that no purse-seine nets were used on dolphin schools during the fishing trip. While dolphin-safe labeling is voluntary, importers intending to market the product with that claim must obtain the required captain's statement and, for certain fisheries, an observer certification. NOAA administers the program.
Both countries operate large distant-water longline fleets that target albacore across the Pacific and Indian Oceans, giving them consistent access to high volumes of the species. Their established cold-chain infrastructure and processing capacity for whole frozen tuna make them natural primary suppliers to the US market, where albacore is the dominant species used in canned white tuna production.
