Last updated: August 2026 dataSwordfish (Xiphias gladius) fillets enter the US under a single tariff line (0304840000) and are subject to FDA seafood HACCP requirements as well as NOAA Fisheries import monitoring under the Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP), which mandates chain-of-custody documentation to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Singapore and Indonesia are the leading suppliers, with Vietnam, Ecuador, and Chile also significant sources, reflecting the species' broad distribution across tropical and temperate ocean fisheries. Importers must file SIMP data — including harvest location, vessel, and gear type — through ACE at the time of entry.

Yes. NOAA's SIMP requires importers of swordfish to submit harvest and chain-of-custody data — including vessel name, flag state, fishing area, and gear type — through ACE at entry. This program targets IUU fishing and is enforced at the 10-digit HTS level for swordfish.
Both countries operate major distant-water fishing fleets and serve as significant transshipment and processing hubs for swordfish caught across the Indo-Pacific. Their established cold-chain infrastructure and processing capacity make them efficient export platforms, even when the fish is harvested in international waters.
