Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits as bluefin tuna is regulated under endangered species conventions; verify exporter compliance
• Provide health certificates confirming the fish are alive, disease-free, and suitable for importation
• Avoid common pitfalls like declaring as fresh/chilled tuna, which shifts to HTS 0302 and higher duties
