Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If yellowfin tuna instead of albacore
Yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) is classified separately under 1604.14.10.20 within the same tuna-in-oil airtight container category.
If packed in water or brine rather than oil
Tuna in airtight containers but not in oil shifts to 1604.14.40, excluding oil-packed products like this.
If not in airtight containers, e.g., pouches or jars
Non-airtight prepared tunas fall under 1604.19, as airtight containers define the 1604.14 structure.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify species identification as albacore (Thunnus alalunga) via FDA documentation to match HTS 1604.14.10.91; misclassification risks penalties
• Ensure airtight containers comply with FDA seafood HACCP and labeling for oil-packed tuna; provide country-of-origin certificates
• Avoid common pitfalls like exceeding aggregate quotas if from freely associated states—use general note 10(c) for duty-free entry where applicable
