Tuna Oil Refined from Japan
Refined oil extracted from skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), rich in DHA and intended for use in dietary supplements. The oil is refined but not chemically modified, and it is not a liver oil, so it falls under tariff item 1504.20.00 for fish fats and oils other than liver oils. It is typically sourced from canning byproducts.

Import Tips
• Ensure the oil is not chemically modified and is not derived from fish livers, as those fall under different tariff items
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the DHA content and refining process to support classification
• Verify whether the oil qualifies for preferential treatment under a free trade agreement to reduce the MFN duty rate
