U.S. exports of fresh or chilled skipjack tuna (stripe-bellied bonito), whole or dressed (HS 0302330000) totaled $3K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: June 2026 dataSkipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) is the world's most commercially harvested tuna species and the primary raw material for canned tuna and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes), but fresh or chilled whole-fish imports under this line serve a distinct niche in Asian foodservice and specialty retail markets. The HTS description explicitly excludes fish fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304, so product form must be confirmed before entry. FDA admissibility rules apply, and scombrotoxin control is a recurring inspection focus for this species. Skipjack's relatively short shelf life at chill temperatures means air freight is the dominant mode for fresh shipments, influencing landed cost calculations significantly.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No Section 301, antidumping, or countervailing duty orders are broadly applied to fresh skipjack tuna at this time, but importers should verify current CBP guidance, as trade-remedy landscapes change. The primary compliance focus for this line is FDA admissibility and scombrotoxin risk management.
Skipjack loins and other boneless portions that qualify as 'fish meat' fall under heading 0304, not 0302330000. Only whole, gutted, headed, or similarly dressed fish — not portioned or filleted product — should be entered under this 10-digit line.
