Last updated: August 2026 dataCovering tuna species not separately enumerated — including skipjack, albacore, and longtail — this residual heading captures a commercially diverse range of whole or gutted fish shipped fresh or chilled, excluding fillets, livers, and roes. Japan and Mexico are the leading US suppliers under this heading, reflecting both artisanal and industrial tuna fisheries across the Pacific. Importers should note that NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program designates tunas as a priority species, requiring chain-of-custody documentation from harvest through US entry. FDA prior notice is mandatory for all seafood shipments.

Species commonly classified here include skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), albacore (Thunnus alalunga), longtail tuna (T. tonggol), and other Thunnus or related species not assigned their own HS subheading. Correct species identification on commercial invoices is essential, as misclassification between named and residual tuna headings can trigger CBP queries.
Under NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program, importers must file harvest event data — including vessel name, flag state, fishing area, gear type, and species — through the ACE system at the time of entry. For Mexican-origin tuna, the relevant fishing authorization and catch records from the Mexican fisheries authority (CONAPESCA) typically serve as the underlying source documents.
