Last updated: August 2026 dataAtlantic bluefin (Thunnus thynnus) and Pacific bluefin (Thunnus orientalis) frozen in non-fillet form represent the apex of the global sashimi market, with individual fish regularly fetching extraordinary prices at Japanese auction. Japan leads US supply under this heading, followed by Turkey and Croatia — the latter two reflecting Mediterranean Atlantic bluefin ranching and farming operations. The US schedule subdivides the heading into Atlantic/general bluefin lines (0303450100 and 0303450110) and a Pacific bluefin-specific line (0303450150), making species-level identification on commercial invoices essential. Atlantic bluefin is subject to ICCAT quota management, and importers must present ICCAT Bluefin Tuna Statistical Documents to demonstrate legal harvest.

The US requires that all imports of Atlantic bluefin tuna be accompanied by an ICCAT Bluefin Tuna Statistical Document, which must be validated by the government of the flag state of the harvesting vessel. This document certifies that the fish was caught within the exporting country's ICCAT quota allocation. Shipments lacking a valid statistical document are subject to refusal of entry, regardless of FDA HACCP compliance status.
The Pacific bluefin line (0303450150) applies specifically to Thunnus orientalis, the species harvested primarily in the North Pacific. Atlantic bluefin (Thunnus thynnus), including fish ranched in the Mediterranean by Turkish or Croatian operations, falls under the Atlantic/general lines (0303450100 or 0303450110). Species identification must be supported by catch documentation referencing the scientific name, as the two species are visually similar and the classification distinction carries different regulatory and quota implications.
