U.S. imports of frozen skipjack tuna (stripe-bellied bonito) (HS 030343) totaled $27K in May 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Last updated: May 2026 dataSkipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), also traded as stripe-bellied bonito, is the dominant species in global canned tuna production and a primary raw material for katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) used in Japanese cuisine. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (0303430000), simplifying classification, though FDA seafood HACCP compliance and RFMO catch documentation remain standard entry requirements. Because skipjack is harvested across tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean fisheries, supply chains frequently involve transshipment, making vessel and flag-state documentation especially important for admissibility review.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) has its own dedicated HS6 heading (030343) and a single 10-digit HTS line (0303430000), separate from yellowfin, bigeye, and bluefin. This species-level separation matters because duty rates and any applicable trade-remedy measures can differ by species.
Skipjack is heavily harvested in high-seas fisheries where catch is routinely transferred between vessels before reaching port. RFMO catch documentation and transhipment declarations are required to establish legal harvest, and US Customs may scrutinize the chain of custody more closely when multiple flag states or carrier vessels are involved.
