Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen swordfish (Xiphias gladius) is split at the 10-digit level into steaks (0303570010) and all other non-fillet forms (0303570090), reflecting the distinct retail and foodservice markets for portion-cut versus whole or dressed product. Ecuador leads US supply, with Vietnam and Indonesia also significant — a sourcing pattern shaped by both longline fishing range and cold-chain capacity in each country. Swordfish is subject to FDA oversight for mercury advisory compliance and seafood HACCP requirements; importers should also be aware that international swordfish stocks are managed under ICCAT and other regional fishery bodies, which can affect catch documentation requirements.

HTS 0303570010 covers frozen swordfish steaks specifically — cross-cut portions that are not fillets. All other frozen swordfish presentations (whole round, headed and gutted, dressed) that are not steaks, fillets, livers, or roe fall under 0303570090. The steak/non-steak split matters because the two lines may carry different duty rates; importers should confirm current rates with CBP or a licensed customs broker.
Swordfish stocks in the Atlantic are managed under ICCAT, and some importing countries require catch certificates or statistical documents to verify legal harvest. While the US does not currently mandate a universal catch certificate for swordfish at entry, importers sourcing from ICCAT-managed fisheries should retain catch documentation to support due-diligence claims and to satisfy any buyer or retailer sustainability requirements. FDA prior notice and HACCP compliance remain mandatory regardless of origin.
