Frozen Albacore Tuna Steaks from Japan
> Frozen albacore tuna steaks are transverse cross-sections of Thunnus alalunga, retaining skin and bone, and are not considered fillets. They are prepared by cutting the fish into steaks, which is a simple processing method that does not remove the flesh from the bone. These steaks fall under tariff item 0303.41.00 as frozen albacore tuna, excluding true fillets of heading 03.04.

Import Tips
• > Confirm that the steaks are not fillets; if the bone is removed and the flesh is sliced, they may fall under heading 03.04
• Keep records of the cutting process and species identification for CBSA verification
• Check for any additional requirements under the Fish Inspection Act, as tuna steaks for human consumption may need inspection certificates
