Last updated: July 2026 dataSwordfish enters US commerce under three distinct tariff lines within 030247: swordfish steaks (0302470010), other whole or dressed forms (0302470090), and a legacy line (0302470000) — all covering fresh or chilled product excluding fillets, livers, and roes. Canada leads supply, followed by Ecuador and Mexico, reflecting both Atlantic and Pacific longline fisheries. All fresh fish imports are subject to FDA admissibility review, and swordfish specifically falls under NOAA Fisheries' seafood import monitoring program, which requires documentation of harvest origin to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. Cold-chain integrity and short shelf life make transit time from South American suppliers a critical logistics variable.

Swordfish is a species covered by NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP), requiring importers to report harvest and chain-of-custody data at entry. FDA may also conduct admissibility review. Consult a licensed customs broker for current filing requirements.
The US schedule separates swordfish steaks (0302470010) from other non-fillet, non-steak forms (0302470090), with a legacy line (0302470000) also present. The steak distinction matters for buyers sourcing portion-cut product versus whole or dressed fish, as classification affects duty treatment and entry documentation.
