Importers of Fresh or Chilled Albacore (Longfinned) Tuna, Whole or Dressed paid $12K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $117K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Fresh or Chilled Albacore (Longfinned) Tuna, Whole or Dressed imports of $125K in June 2026 ran 13% above the year-to-date monthly average of $110K.
Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) enters US commerce under this line in whole or dressed form — fresh or chilled — explicitly excluding fillets, livers, and roes, which fall under separate headings. Known commercially as "white tuna," albacore commands premium placement in the sashimi and high-end canned-tuna supply chain, making cold-chain integrity and rapid port clearance critical. FDA exercises admissibility oversight for imported fresh fish, and importers should confirm that the vessel or processing facility meets applicable sanitary standards. Species-level identification at entry is important, as albacore is frequently confused with other longfinned tunas at the whole-fish stage.

Fillets, livers, and roes are carved out of this line by statute and classify separately under heading 0304 (fish fillets and other fish meat). Importers must ensure the product form — whole, gutted, or headed — matches the 0302310000 description to avoid misclassification.
A species declaration on the commercial invoice, a catch certificate referencing Thunnus alalunga, and any applicable NOAA or flag-state documentation all support correct species identification. FDA may request additional records if the shipment is selected for examination.
