Import Tips
• Verify species identification as Thunnus alalunga via documentation to match HTS 1604.14.30.59; misclassification risks penalties
• Include FDA prior notice and shellfish safety certificates; check for section 609 compliance if any shrimp byproducts present
• Label cans clearly with 'albacore tuna,' net weight, and packing medium to avoid CBP reclassification
