U.S. imports of frozen skipjack tuna fillets & other tuna meat (HS 030487) totaled $33.5M in April 2026, traded with 25 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen fillets and other meat of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and genus Thunnus tunas are classified under a single 10-digit line (0304870000), making this heading the primary entry point for frozen tuna loins and portions destined for canned tuna production, sashimi processing, and foodservice. Indonesia leads US supply under this heading, with Vietnam and Thailand also significant — all three are major tuna processing hubs whose product may be subject to Section 301 tariff considerations for Vietnamese and Chinese-processed goods. Importers should verify whether the product is a fillet or a loin, as processing method and form affect both classification and FDA labeling requirements. FDA prior notice is required; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered importer of record before entry.

Tuna loins — longitudinal cuts of the fish muscle — are generally classified as 'other meat' rather than fillets under this heading, but both fall under 0304870000 in the US schedule. The key classification question is whether the product meets the definition of a fillet (a lateral slice removed parallel to the backbone) versus a loin or block; when in doubt, a binding ruling from CBP is advisable.
FDA requires prior notice of arrival for all seafood shipments. Frozen tuna products are also subject to HACCP seafood regulations (21 CFR Part 123), meaning the foreign processor must operate under a documented HACCP plan. FDA may detain shipments from facilities with prior violations or from countries under import alerts; importers should verify their supplier's FDA compliance status before contracting.
