Import Tips
• Verify species identification as light tuna (e.g
• skipjack or smaller yellowfin) via FDA documentation to avoid reclassification to higher-duty codes
• Ensure airtight container integrity and oil packing compliance; provide commercial invoice detailing net weight and oil content
• Be aware of section 609 restrictions if any shrimp bycatch is involved in sourcing
