Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific name Thunnus albacares via documentation to avoid misclassification
• Ensure compliance with Section 609 if sourced from regions with shrimp bycatch risks, even for tuna
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs below 4°C to qualify as 'fresh or chilled' and prevent reclassification as frozen
