U.S. imports of live atlantic and pacific bluefin tunas (HS 030194) totaled $10K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Live Atlantic and Pacific Bluefin Tunas imports of $10K in June 2026 ran 500% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2K.
Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and Pacific bluefin tuna (T. orientalis) are among the most tightly managed fish species in international trade, with catch quotas set by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) for the Atlantic species and by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) for the Pacific species. Live specimens imported into the US — typically for aquaculture grow-out or high-value sashimi markets — must be accompanied by ICCAT or WCPFC catch documentation, and NOAA Fisheries enforces these statistical document requirements at entry. Given the conservation sensitivity of both species, importers should expect heightened scrutiny of catch documentation and country-of-origin records. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker and NOAA Fisheries before importing.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
NOAA Fisheries requires bluefin tuna to be accompanied by an ICCAT Bluefin Tuna Statistical Document (for Atlantic bluefin) or equivalent WCPFC documentation (for Pacific bluefin). These documents must trace the fish back to a specific catch event and vessel. Shipments lacking valid documentation are subject to refusal at entry.
Atlantic and Pacific bluefin tunas were given their own HS6 heading (030194) in the 2022 HS revision to reflect their distinct conservation status and the specialized international management regimes governing their trade. This separation facilitates more precise monitoring of trade flows by customs authorities and fisheries management bodies worldwide.
