Last updated: April 2026 dataAtlantic bluefin (Thunnus thynnus) and Pacific bluefin (Thunnus orientalis) are among the most tightly regulated commercially traded fish in the world, with international catch quotas set by ICCAT for the Atlantic species and WCPFC for the Pacific. The US HTS schedule distinguishes Atlantic/general bluefin (0303450100 and 0303450110) from Pacific bluefin specifically (0303450150). Japan dominates US imports of frozen bluefin, reflecting its central role in the global sashimi supply chain, with Turkey and Croatia also significant sources — the latter two largely supplying farmed Atlantic bluefin from Mediterranean ranching operations. NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program mandates detailed harvest traceability documentation for both species at entry.

The US schedule separates Atlantic/general bluefin (0303450100 and 0303450110) from Pacific bluefin (0303450150) to align with distinct international fishery management regimes — ICCAT governs Atlantic bluefin while WCPFC covers Pacific bluefin — and to facilitate species-specific trade monitoring under NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program.
Under NOAA's SIMP, importers must obtain and retain harvest records identifying the vessel, flag state, fishing area, gear type, and species for each lot of bluefin tuna. These records must be linked to the entry filing and are subject to audit; failure to maintain them can result in refusal of entry or civil penalties.
