Frozen swordfish packed in bulk or in immediate containers whose combined weight exceeds 6.8 kg is the commercial format most commonly used for foodservice and further-processing supply chains. The 6.8 kg threshold (equivalent to approximately 15 lbs) is a recurring structural distinction across multiple frozen fish headings in the US tariff schedule, separating wholesale/industrial packs from retail-sized product. FDA seafood HACCP rules and NOAA SIMP traceability requirements apply equally to this bulk format, and importers should ensure that container weight documentation supports the correct classification at entry.

The threshold applies to the immediate container together with its contents — meaning the combined weight of the packaging and the frozen fish inside must exceed 6.8 kg for this line to apply. Importers should retain packing lists and container weight documentation to support the classification in the event of a CBP inquiry.
No. NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program requirements apply to swordfish regardless of pack size or container format. Harvest event data and chain-of-custody records must be filed in ACE for all frozen swordfish entries, whether retail or bulk.
