Import Tips
• 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
