U.S. exports of frozen atlantic & pacific bluefin tuna (whole, except fillets, livers & roes) (HS 0303450100) totaled $4K in August 2026, exported to 1 country.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAtlantic bluefin (Thunnus thynnus) and Pacific bluefin (Thunnus orientalis) frozen in whole or dressed form — excluding fillets, livers, and roes — are among the most tightly regulated fish in international trade due to CITES Appendix II listing and ICCAT/WCPFC quota management. Importers must present documentation demonstrating legal harvest under applicable regional fishery management organization (RFMO) catch documentation schemes before US Customs clearance. The two species are classified at the 10-digit level under 0303450110 (Atlantic bluefin, Thunnus thynnus) and 0303450150 (Pacific bluefin, Thunnus orientalis), with a legacy combined line at 0303450100. Given the premium sashimi-grade market these fish serve, cold-chain integrity and species authentication are critical compliance concerns.

Both species are listed under CITES Appendix II and managed by regional fishery management organizations (ICCAT for Atlantic bluefin, WCPFC for Pacific bluefin). Importers must provide catch documentation or statistical documents issued under the relevant RFMO scheme to demonstrate the fish was legally harvested within quota. Failure to present valid documentation can result in detention or refusal at the port of entry.
The schedule separates them by species: 0303450110 covers Thunnus thynnus (Atlantic bluefin) and 0303450150 covers Thunnus orientalis (Pacific bluefin). A legacy combined line (0303450100) also exists. Correct species identification — supported by catch documentation and, where needed, DNA testing — is essential for proper classification.
