Import Tips
• Include lot traceability documentation from harvest to packing to meet USDA and FDA import requirements for seafood
• Test for histamine levels as tuna is prone to scombroid poisoning; non-compliance leads to detention
• Declare packing medium accurately on entry docs to prevent reclassification to oil-packed subheadings
