U.S. imports of fresh or chilled atlantic and pacific bluefin tuna, whole or dressed (HS 0302350100) totaled $12.3M in June 2026, traded with 12 countries.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Atlantic and Pacific Bluefin Tuna, Whole or Dressed paid $592K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $5.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Atlantic bluefin (Thunnus thynnus) and Pacific bluefin (Thunnus orientalis) are the most commercially valuable tuna species globally, with premium sashimi-grade fish commanding extraordinary prices at Japanese auction markets and high-end US restaurants. Both species are subject to strict international quota management — Atlantic bluefin under ICCAT and Pacific bluefin under WCPFC/ISC — and importers must obtain and retain the applicable statistical document or catch certificate to demonstrate legal harvest. FDA governs admissibility of fresh fish imports, and given the species' high per-unit value, CBP scrutiny of declared value and species identity is elevated. Air freight is the near-universal transport mode for fresh bluefin destined for sashimi use.

ICCAT requires an Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Statistical Document (BSD) for all trade in Atlantic bluefin. The document must be validated by the flag state and accompany the shipment; US importers are required to submit it to NOAA Fisheries. Failure to present a valid BSD can result in refusal of entry.
Yes — both Thunnus thynnus (Atlantic) and Thunnus orientalis (Pacific) are combined under HTS 0302350100 in the US tariff schedule. Despite sharing a single tariff line, they require separate species-specific catch documentation because they are managed by different regional fishery bodies (ICCAT for Atlantic, WCPFC for Pacific).
