Last updated: April 2026 dataSouthern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) is managed under the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT), which sets strict annual global catch allocations — making quota compliance a defining concern for importers. Classified under a single line, 0303460000, this species is distinct from Atlantic and Pacific bluefin at both the biological and regulatory level. Japan is the dominant US supplier, with Indonesia also a notable source; Japan's deep integration in the southern bluefin supply chain reflects both its fishing fleet presence and its role as a processing and re-export hub. NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program requires harvest traceability documentation at the time of US entry.

The CCSBT allocates national catch quotas, and importing countries are expected to track trade against those limits. US importers must provide SIMP-compliant harvest documentation showing the flag state, fishing area, and vessel; CBP and NOAA may cross-reference this against CCSBT catch certificate schemes to verify legality of harvest.
Southern bluefin tuna is not currently listed under CITES appendices, so no CITES permit is required for import. However, its status under CCSBT means that harvest legality documentation remains essential, and proposals to list the species have been debated at CITES conferences — importers should monitor any future listing decisions.
