Last updated: April 2026 dataYellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is one of the most widely traded large pelagic species globally, used in sashimi, sushi, and canning applications. The US schedule distinguishes whole frozen yellowfin (0303420020) from other non-fillet forms (0303420060), a split that matters when product is headed-and-gutted or otherwise partially processed but not filleted. Vietnam and Indonesia lead US supply, with Japan, Thailand, and Mexico also contributing — a diverse Indo-Pacific supplier base that reflects the species' broad tropical distribution. Like all scombroid fish, yellowfin tuna requires robust histamine HACCP controls, and FDA may sample shipments from establishments with prior temperature-abuse findings.

Line 0303420020 covers yellowfin tuna in whole (round) form, while 0303420060 covers frozen yellowfin that is not a fillet but also not whole — for example, headed-and-gutted or dressed product. Importers should confirm the exact presentation of the fish with their supplier and document it on the commercial invoice to ensure the correct 10-digit line is declared.
Yes. If the importer or subsequent buyer intends to label the product as 'dolphin-safe,' the shipment must be accompanied by documentation meeting the requirements of the Dolphin Protection Consumer Information Act, including a captain's statement and, for certain fishing methods and ocean areas, an observer certification. This is a labeling compliance matter separate from customs classification, but it should be addressed in the supply-chain agreement with the foreign supplier. Consult a licensed customs broker or trade attorney for specifics.
