U.S. imports of frozen atlantic bluefin tuna (thunnus thynnus, whole, except fillets, livers & roes) (HS 0303450110) totaled $180K in August 2026, imported from 3 countries.
Importers of Frozen Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus, Whole, Except Fillets, Livers & Roes) paid $22K in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 12.39% of the $180K imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataClassified specifically to Thunnus thynnus, this 10-digit line captures frozen Atlantic bluefin tuna in whole or dressed form, the species most prized for high-end sashimi and subject to ICCAT catch documentation requirements. Entry into the US requires valid ICCAT Bluefin Tuna Statistical Document (BSD) accompanying each shipment, making documentation management a central compliance task for importers. Species misidentification — whether accidental or fraudulent — is a known enforcement risk given the premium price differential between Atlantic bluefin and lower-value tuna species.

The ICCAT BSD is a catch documentation instrument required for all trade in Atlantic bluefin tuna. It must accompany each shipment and certifies that the fish was harvested within a country's ICCAT-allocated quota. US Customs and Border Protection, in coordination with NOAA, reviews these documents at entry; shipments lacking valid BSDs are subject to refusal.
Reliable species verification methods include supplier-provided catch documentation tied to the ICCAT BSD, morphological inspection, and DNA barcoding. Given the significant price premium for Thunnus thynnus, customs authorities and NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement may request additional evidence of species identity, particularly for shipments from regions where multiple tuna species are harvested together.
