HS 160414

Prepared or Preserved Tunas, Skipjack Tuna, and Bonito

U.S. imports of prepared or preserved tunas, skipjack tuna, and bonito (HS 160414) totaled $109.6M in April 2026, traded with 30 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Canned and otherwise preserved tuna is among the highest-volume shelf-stable seafood categories entering the US, and this heading carries a tariff-rate quota structure that creates meaningful duty differences between in-quota and over-quota shipments — particularly visible in line 1604142299 for non-oil tuna in airtight containers under 7 kg. Thailand and Ecuador are the dominant suppliers, with Vietnam, Mexico, and Indonesia also among the top sources. The schedule further distinguishes albacore from other tuna species, oil-packed from non-oil, foil pouches from traditional cans, and bonito (Sarda spp.) as a separate species group (1604147000 and 1604148000). FDA seafood HACCP regulations govern admissibility, and importers should confirm species identification and container weight to select the correct 10-digit line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tariff-rate quota affect duty costs for canned tuna importers?

Certain non-oil tuna in airtight containers under 7 kg (line 1604142299) is subject to a TRQ, meaning shipments within the quota volume receive a lower duty rate while over-quota entries face a higher rate. Importers should track quota fill levels and time shipments accordingly to manage landed costs.

What countries account for the largest share of US canned and preserved tuna imports?

Thailand and Ecuador are the top two suppliers by a wide margin, followed by Vietnam, Mexico, and Indonesia. Thailand's dominance reflects its large-scale tuna processing infrastructure, while Ecuador benefits from proximity to productive Eastern Pacific skipjack fisheries.

Does the species of tuna affect which 10-digit line applies?

Yes — albacore tuna has dedicated lines (1604141091, 1604143051, 1604143059) separate from other tunas and skipjack, and bonito (Sarda spp.) is classified under its own lines (1604147000 in oil, 1604148000 not in oil). Correct species identification from the supplier is essential for accurate classification.
