Last updated: April 2026 dataBluefin tuna — among the most commercially valuable pelagic fish in global seafood markets — enters the US under a single 10-digit line (0302350100) covering whole fish and portions other than fillets, livers, and roes. International catch quotas administered by ICCAT and WCPFC make supply highly regulated, and importers must ensure that documentation traces harvest to a quota-compliant vessel. Mexico and Spain are the leading US suppliers, with Croatia and Japan also contributing to a trade flow that is closely watched by both customs and fisheries enforcement agencies. FDA oversight applies at entry, and country-of-origin labeling requirements are strictly enforced for fresh seafood at retail.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Importers must provide a Highly Migratory Species (HMS) import declaration and a Bluefin Tuna Statistical Document (BSD) issued by the exporting country's fisheries authority, demonstrating that the catch was made within an ICCAT- or WCPFC-allocated quota. FDA entry documentation and country-of-origin records are also required.
Atlantic and Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus and T. orientalis) are classified separately from other tunas under heading 030235, while all other fresh tuna species with bones fall under 030239. The distinction matters for quota tracking and fisheries documentation, not just tariff purposes.
