Import Tips
• Label species clearly as Thunnus alalunga and track aggregate entries against 4.8% NMFS-reported quota
• Use flexible/foil materials only; rigid packaging disqualifies from this subheading
• Maintain documentation proving not from U.S. possessions like American Samoa to avoid higher general rates
