Last updated: August 2026 dataFrozen bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) excluding fillets, livers, and roes is classified at the single 10-digit line 0303440000, covering whole and dressed presentations of a species that anchors the high-end sashimi supply chain. South Korea is the leading US supplier, reflecting its large distant-water longline fleet operating across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. FDA seafood HACCP requirements apply, and importers should be aware that bigeye tuna's high commercial value makes it a target for species substitution fraud — making species verification documentation from suppliers especially important.

Because bigeye commands a premium over yellowfin and other tuna species, mislabeling of species is a documented fraud risk in the frozen tuna trade. FDA's seafood fraud prevention guidance recommends that importers obtain species-level catch documentation (e.g., vessel trip reports identifying Thunnus obesus) and consider DNA-based species verification testing for high-value shipments. Maintaining a robust supplier approval program is also advisable.
South Korea is a US free-trade-agreement partner under KORUS, and goods originating in South Korea that meet the applicable rules of origin may qualify for preferential tariff treatment under that agreement. Importers should confirm origin qualification with their customs broker and ensure that a valid certificate or certification of origin is on file before claiming KORUS preference on entry.
