Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen whole or dressed tunas and skipjack are a cornerstone of the global canned and sashimi supply chains, and their classification at the species level — yellowfin, bigeye, albacore, skipjack — determines both duty treatment and applicable fisheries documentation. International sustainability certifications and catch documentation schemes (such as ICCAT catch certificates for Atlantic bluefin) are increasingly required by US importers and retailers. FDA admissibility review applies at entry, and species mislabeling is an active enforcement concern for this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Certain tuna species, particularly Atlantic bluefin, require ICCAT catch documentation. Additionally, NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) mandates harvest and chain-of-custody records for tunas at the point of entry to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Importers should verify which species in their shipment fall under SIMP reporting obligations.
Skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) and stripe-bellied bonito are grouped together in this heading and are distinct from the larger Thunnus species such as yellowfin or bigeye. Species identification — typically confirmed via supplier documentation or DNA testing — is critical because misclassification between tuna species can result in incorrect duty assessment and potential FDA enforcement action for seafood mislabeling.
