If frozen tuna fillets
Tuna-specific frozen meat has dedicated subheadings, separating high-value species from Rajidae.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use ISF filings early for bulk shipments to preempt delays from seafood traceability requirements
• Document block integrity and temperature logs to prove frozen status throughout transit
• Beware of misdeclaration as 'minced' if not uniformly processed, which stays in same code but affects valuation
