Importers of Fresh or Chilled Tunas, Skipjack & Stripe-Bellied Bonito (Excluding Livers and Roes) paid $1.6M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $14.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataTunas and skipjack shipped fresh or chilled serve the high-value sashimi and sushi market, where temperature management from vessel to plate is the defining quality variable. USDA FSIS inspection applies at the port of entry, and FDA's scombrotoxin (histamine) guidance imposes strict time-temperature controls throughout the cold chain. Several tuna species are subject to CITES trade monitoring, and dolphin-safe certification requirements under the Marine Mammal Protection Act add a documentation layer for commercially caught product.

Scombrotoxin (histamine) poisoning is a leading seafood safety concern for tunas and related species. FDA requires that importers have HACCP plans addressing time-temperature control from catch through distribution. Shipments found to have temperature abuse in their history can be detained or refused entry, making cold-chain documentation a compliance priority.
Dolphin-safe labeling under the Marine Mammal Protection Act is voluntary but commercially significant — many US retailers and foodservice buyers require it. To use the label, importers must obtain a written statement from the vessel captain and, for certain fishing methods in specific ocean areas, an independent observer certification. Consult a licensed customs broker or trade counsel for current documentation requirements.
