Whole round, headed-and-gutted, and other dressed forms of frozen swordfish that are neither steaks nor fillets classify under HTS 0303570090 — the residual non-steak, non-fillet line within the swordfish heading. This form is common in wholesale and further-processing channels, where buyers portion the fish domestically. Ecuador, Vietnam, and Indonesia are among the leading suppliers, reflecting the broad geographic range of the Pacific and Atlantic longline swordfish fishery. FDA prior notice, facility registration, and seafood HACCP compliance are required for all imported frozen fish for human consumption.

Code 0303570090 covers frozen swordfish in any form that is not a steak, fillet, liver, or roe — including whole round, headed and gutted (H&G), and dressed (H&G plus collar removed). Once the fish is cross-cut into steak portions, it moves to 0303570010; once it is cut into fillet portions, it reclassifies into the appropriate fillet heading.
While CBP does not universally require catch certificates for swordfish at entry, swordfish from ICCAT-managed Atlantic stocks may be subject to ICCAT statistical document programs in the country of export. Importers should request catch documentation from suppliers to support traceability, satisfy retailer sustainability requirements, and demonstrate legal harvest in the event of a CBP or FDA inquiry.
