Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen swordfish (Xiphias gladius) is split at the 10-digit level between steaks (0303570010) and all other non-fillet forms (0303570090), a distinction that reflects the product's common retail and food-service presentation as a thick cross-cut steak rather than a fillet. Ecuador leads US import supply, followed by Vietnam and Indonesia, with Costa Rica and Chile also notable sources — a geographically diverse supplier base spanning both Pacific and Atlantic longline fleets. Swordfish is subject to NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program, requiring harvest traceability documentation at entry. Mercury content in swordfish is regulated by FDA, and importers should be aware that FDA issues consumption advisories that can affect retail and food-service demand.

HTS 0303570010 covers frozen swordfish steaks specifically — cross-cut portions with bone — while 0303570090 covers all other frozen swordfish forms excluding fillets, livers, and roes (such as whole or dressed fish). Importers should confirm the cut description on commercial invoices matches the declared line, as the two lines may carry different duty rates.
Swordfish is a SIMP-covered species. Importers must obtain and link to their entry filing a harvest record identifying the vessel name and flag, fishing license or authorization, fishing area (FAO zone), gear type, and species. These records must be retained for two years and are subject to audit by NOAA's Office of International Affairs and Seafood Inspection.
