Light tuna (skipjack blend) has separate statistical breakouts before albacore.
If salted/dried, not canned

If in bulk containers over 7kg
Large retail packs exceed 'airtight containers' typical for small consumer cans.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Describe cut precisely as 'ventresca/belly' but note it remains pieces under tuna heading, not parts
• Source from US waters if possible for easier COOL compliance on albacore origin
• Batch-test for histamines common in premium loins to prevent FDA detention
