Import Tips

Verify origin certificates, especially for tuna from freely associated states to qualify for duty-free entry up to aggregate limits under general note 10(c)

Confirm packing medium is water or brine only, not oil, with lab testing if needed to avoid reclassification

Include commercial invoice detailing species (e.g

skipjack), net weight, and airtight container type to prevent customs delays
