Last updated: April 2026 dataYellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) fresh or chilled — a staple of the sashimi and poke markets — is classified at 0302320000, covering whole and dressed fish excluding fillets, livers, and roe. Panama and Costa Rica are the leading US suppliers, reflecting the Eastern Tropical Pacific's role as a primary yellowfin fishing ground and the logistical advantage of proximity to US ports. Supply from this region is subject to Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) conservation measures, including vessel capacity limits and seasonal closures that can affect availability. FDA Prior Notice and Seafood HACCP requirements apply to all shipments.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The IATTC periodically imposes fishing closure periods (bigeye/yellowfin closure windows) and vessel capacity limits in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. These closures can create seasonal supply gaps for fresh yellowfin, prompting importers to plan inventory around the IATTC annual closure schedule and consider alternative sourcing when closures are in effect.
Whole and dressed yellowfin tuna (excluding fillets) are classified under 0302320000. Tuna loins and fillets are classified separately under heading 0304, not 0302. Importers should confirm the presentation of the product — whether it is a whole fish, gutted fish, or a loin/fillet — before filing entry, as misclassification between these headings is a common audit finding.
