Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific name (Thunnus alalunga) with FDA prior notice and import alerts for seafood safety
• Ensure proper cold chain documentation showing temperature below -18°C to avoid reclassification as fresh under 0302
• Obtain catch certificates to comply with MSC sustainability standards and avoid antidumping duties on certain tuna
