Import Tips
• Ensure the loins are clearly labeled as Thunnus alalunga and not fillets, as fillets fall under heading 03.04
• Provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
• Declare the product's frozen state and intended use for further processing to avoid misclassification
