Yes — whole, gutted, or headed swordfish that has not been cut into steaks or fillets is correctly classified under 0302470090, provided it is fresh or chilled. The line is specifically designed for these less-processed whole or dressed forms.
FDA prior notice must be filed before arrival, and the shipment must be accompanied by HACCP records from the foreign processor. For large pelagic fish, temperature logs demonstrating continuous refrigeration from harvest through arrival are best practice and may be requested during FDA examination. NOAA HMS catch documentation must also be presented to CBP.
