Last updated: April 2026 dataBigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) frozen in whole or dressed form — excluding fillets, livers, and roes — enters the US under a single 10-digit line, 0303440000. Prized by the sashimi and sushi trade for its high fat content and deep-red flesh, bigeye commands premium pricing relative to skipjack or yellowfin. South Korea leads US supply, followed by Suriname and Ecuador, reflecting the global reach of distant-water tuna fleets that land and process catch across multiple ocean basins. All imported fish are subject to FDA entry review, and importers should verify that harvest documentation satisfies applicable seafood HACCP requirements.

Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) is classified separately from yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) at the HS6 level. Importers must correctly identify the species on entry documentation; misidentification between bigeye and yellowfin is a common classification error that can trigger CBP scrutiny, particularly because the two species carry different duty treatments in some trade contexts.
FDA requires importers to have a seafood HACCP plan in place and to verify that foreign suppliers operate under equivalent controls. Additionally, NOAA's seafood import monitoring program (SIMP) requires chain-of-custody documentation for bigeye tuna, including harvest location, vessel, and gear type, to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
