U.S. exports of fresh or chilled swordfish (whole, except fillets, livers & roes) (HS 0302470000) totaled $29K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) is a highly migratory species subject to international fishery management under ICCAT, and US imports must comply with both FDA admissibility requirements and NOAA Fisheries documentation rules for large pelagics. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading into swordfish steaks (0302470010) and all other fresh or chilled swordfish forms excluding steaks and fillets (0302470090), reflecting the commercial importance of the steak cut in the foodservice sector. FDA import alerts related to methylmercury in large pelagic fish can affect admissibility, making prior notice and accurate species labeling critical. Importers should consult a licensed customs broker and verify current FDA guidance before shipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
HTS 0302470010 covers swordfish steaks specifically — cross-cut portions of the loin — while 0302470090 captures all other fresh or chilled swordfish forms that are not steaks, fillets, livers, or roes (e.g., whole dressed fish, loins, or collar cuts). The steak/non-steak distinction is the operative split.
Yes. NOAA Fisheries requires Highly Migratory Species (HMS) import documentation for swordfish, including a statistical document or re-export certificate from the country of harvest, to verify the catch complies with ICCAT conservation measures. This is separate from FDA prior notice and HACCP requirements.
