CSMS #69112467 · Quota Bulletin 26-214 2026 Tuna Final Restraint Limit and Proration

Brief takeaway: The notice announces the 2026 tariff-rate quota restraint limit for certain canned tuna and how entries are being prorated under the in-quota amount.

What changed: According to the notice, CBP published Quota Bulletin 26-214 setting the 2026 tuna restraint limit at 16,364,101 kilograms. The notice states the quota did not oversubscribe at the January 2, 2026 opening moment, so entry summaries and warehouse withdrawals presented from midnight January 2, 2026 onward are granted 100% proration on a first-come, first-served basis by presentation date. The notice adds that the entry filling and surpassing the limit will be prorated under 19 CFR 132.

Who's affected: The notice cites tuna classifiable under HTSUS subheading 1604.14.22, referencing a Federal Register notice titled "Tuna Tariff-Rate Quota for Calendar Year 2026." Country of origin is not specified in the notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your product may be classifiable under HTSUS 1604.14.22 as described in the notice.
- Confirm the quota presentation date of your entry summaries or warehouse withdrawals with your customs broker.
- Check how the first-come, first-served proration and the 19 CFR 132 proration rules may be relevant to your entries.
- Confirm current quota status and any questions with CBP's Quota and Agriculture Branch ([email protected]) or your broker.
