U.S. imports of fresh or chilled swordfish fillets (HS 030445) totaled $73K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Swordfish Fillets paid $7K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $73K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Swordfish fillets enter the US fresh and chilled under a single 10-digit line (0304450000), with Ecuador the leading supplier, followed by Indonesia and Chile. As a large pelagic species, swordfish is subject to NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP), which requires harvest event data and chain-of-custody records to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The fresh format demands rapid transit — typically by air — and importers should confirm that foreign establishments meet FDA seafood HACCP requirements before shipment. Buyers should also verify that swordfish consignments comply with FDA methylmercury advisory guidelines, which can affect commercial distribution channels.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Swordfish is one of the priority species designated by NOAA as at risk for IUU fishing and seafood fraud. Importers must report harvest event data — including vessel, flag state, and fishing area — at the time of entry, and must retain chain-of-custody records for two years.
FDA's methylmercury guidance is primarily directed at consumer consumption advice rather than import admissibility, so it does not block entry. However, commercial buyers — particularly those supplying schools, hospitals, or other institutional markets — should be aware of the advisory when making purchasing decisions, as it can affect downstream distribution.
