Last updated: July 2026 dataCanned and otherwise preserved tuna, skipjack, and bonito (Sarda spp.) represent one of the most heavily traded seafood categories entering the US, with Thailand and Ecuador the dominant suppliers and Vietnam, Mexico, and Indonesia also significant sources. The US schedule is unusually granular, separating product by species (albacore vs. other tunas), packing medium (in oil vs. not in oil), container type (airtight vs. non-airtight), and container size (under 6.8 kg vs. larger), with certain lines subject to tariff-rate quota treatment. FDA regulates prepared fish products for food safety, and importers must ensure foreign processors are registered under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act and comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) seafood regulations. Dolphin-safe labeling requirements under the Marine Mammal Protection Act add a further compliance layer for tuna specifically.

Certain airtight-container tuna lines — particularly those packed not in oil and in containers under 7 kg — are subject to tariff-rate quota treatment (see line 1604142299). Whether a shipment qualifies for the in-quota rate depends on available quota volume at the time of entry. Importers should monitor CBP quota bulletins and file entries promptly when quota opens, as over-quota rates are substantially higher.
Yes. Tuna sold in the US must comply with dolphin-safe labeling standards under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which requires documentation from the vessel captain and, for certain fishing methods, an independent observer certification. Importers must obtain and retain these declarations as part of their entry records, separate from FDA food labeling obligations.
