Import Tips
• Include catch certificates confirming skipjack species and free-associated states eligibility under general note 10(c) for potential duty relief
• Label cans with accurate net drained weight of tuna and oil type to pass CBP inspection
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 'solid' pack, which could trigger reclassification
