Import Tips
• Obtain CITES Appendix II permits for all bluefin tuna shipments to verify legal wild-caught or farmed origin
• Maintain cold chain documentation proving fish remained fresh/chilled (below 0°C) without freezing to avoid reclassification
• Include scientific name confirmation (Thunnus thynnus) on commercial invoice to match HTS description precisely
