U.S. imports of fresh or chilled yellowfin tuna, whole or dressed (HS 0302320000) totaled $10.8M in June 2026, traded with 34 countries.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Yellowfin Tuna, Whole or Dressed paid $941K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $9.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is a cornerstone of the global sashimi and foodservice sushi trade, and fresh or chilled whole-fish shipments under this line are highly time-sensitive given the species' short shelf life at refrigerated temperatures. FDA governs admissibility of imported fresh fish, and scombrotoxin (histamine) risk makes temperature-chain documentation especially important for yellowfin. The species is widely harvested across tropical Pacific and Atlantic waters, and dolphin-safe certification requirements under the Marine Mammal Protection Act may apply depending on fishing method and origin. Importers should verify that the product form does not include fillets or roes, which are classified elsewhere.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. If the importer intends to market the product with a dolphin-safe label in the US, the shipment must meet NOAA Fisheries' dolphin-safe standards, including documentation of fishing method and, for certain ocean areas, an observer certification. This is a labeling compliance issue distinct from customs classification.
Yellowfin tuna is a high-histamine-risk species. FDA may place shipments on automatic detention if a supplier has a prior history of scombrotoxin violations, requiring private laboratory testing at the importer's expense before release. Maintaining continuous cold-chain records from harvest through port arrival is the primary mitigation.
