Last updated: July 2026 dataBigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) is prized in the premium sashimi and sushi market for its high fat content and deep-red flesh, commanding prices well above skipjack or yellowfin in the foodservice channel. South Korea and Ecuador lead US supply under this heading, with Suriname, Japan, and Marshall Islands also significant — a geographically diverse supplier base reflecting the species' wide distribution across tropical and subtropical oceans. The single 10-digit line 0303440000 covers all non-fillet, non-liver, non-roe frozen forms, so presentation documentation is critical. FDA HACCP histamine controls and Country of Origin Labeling requirements apply.

While HTS classification does not distinguish between commodity-grade and sashimi-grade bigeye, buyers in the premium sashimi market typically require additional documentation — including vessel catch logs, core temperature records, and sometimes third-party grading certificates — to verify fat content and cold-chain integrity. These commercial requirements exist alongside, and independent of, FDA HACCP compliance obligations.
Bigeye tuna is not currently listed under CITES, but it is subject to catch limits set by regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) such as ICCAT (Atlantic) and WCPFC (Pacific). The US may require importers to present catch documentation — such as ICCAT Bigeye Tuna Statistical Document Program certificates — to demonstrate that the fish was harvested in compliance with applicable RFMO quotas. Importers should confirm current documentation requirements with their customs broker before shipment.
