Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify container weight ≤6.8kg total and confirm not from U.S. insular possessions to qualify under the 4.8% annual quota
• Provide NMFS consumption data certification and species documentation (Thunnus alalunga) for quota compliance
• Avoid misdeclaration as oil-packed (1604.14.22.40) which changes duty rates; ensure flexible/foil packaging
