Import Tips
• Verify container net weight ≤7kg including contents and confirm not in oil to qualify under 1604.14.22
• Track aggregate annual imports against 4.8% US tuna consumption quota; excess shifts to higher duty subheadings
• Include NMFS-reported consumption data in documentation and ensure species certification for tuna/skipjack
