Last updated: August 2026 dataCanned and pouched tuna is one of the most widely traded prepared seafood categories entering the US, with skipjack and yellowfin the dominant commercial species alongside albacore. The heading covers whole loins, chunks, flakes, and solid-pack formats but stops short of minced or paste preparations. FDA prior notice, seafood HACCP plans, and country-of-origin labeling (COOL) requirements all apply at importation. Dolphin-safe labeling compliance under the Marine Mammal Protection Act is an additional regulatory layer that importers and their brokers must document.

Importers must provide a written statement from the vessel captain or observer certifying that no purse-seine nets were intentionally deployed on dolphin schools during the fishing trip. NOAA administers the dolphin-safe labeling program, and documentation must be retained and available for audit.
Certain preserved tuna products have historically been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty investigations depending on origin. Importers should check the USITC and Commerce Department's active order list for the specific origin and pack type before entry.
