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
