Last updated: April 2026 dataAlbacore (Thunnus alalunga), the species marketed as 'white meat' canned tuna, enters the US in frozen whole form under a single line (0303410000) and serves primarily as a raw material for canning and further processing rather than fresh retail. Vietnam and South Korea are the leading suppliers, with Taiwan also a significant source — a Pacific-basin supply structure that reflects albacore's migratory range across the Western and Central Pacific. Importers should be aware that tuna destined for canning may face additional FDA scrutiny for histamine (scombrotoxin) control, a critical HACCP hazard for this species.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Albacore is a scombroid fish, meaning it can produce histamine (scombrotoxin) rapidly if temperature control breaks down during harvest, processing, or transit. FDA's HACCP seafood regulations require importers to have controls specifically addressing histamine as a reasonably likely hazard. Shipments with inadequate time-temperature records are at elevated risk of detention or refusal at the port of entry.
Frozen whole albacore (excluding fillets, livers, and roes) classifies under 0303410000. Albacore fillets classify under the frozen fish fillet headings in HS 0304, and prepared or preserved albacore (including canned) falls under Chapter 16. The form of the fish at the time of importation — not its intended end use — determines the correct heading.
