Last updated: April 2026 dataCovering swordfish portions other than fillets and steaks — such as collar cuts, belly flaps, and loin trim — this heading is supplied primarily by Indonesia and Costa Rica, reflecting the Pacific and Atlantic longline fisheries that target broadbill swordfish. The single 10-digit line (0304540000) captures all such non-fillet, non-steak swordfish cuts. Like fresh swordfish fillets, these products fall under NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program, requiring harvest event and chain-of-custody documentation at entry. FDA Prior Notice and HACCP supplier verification are also mandatory.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A fillet is a longitudinal cut from the side of the fish, typically boneless or semi-boneless. Swordfish loins, collar cuts, belly portions, and trim that do not meet the fillet definition are classified as 'other meat' under this heading. When the cut form is borderline — for example, a thick loin section — importers should consider requesting a CBP binding ruling to avoid misclassification.
Yes. SIMP applies to swordfish regardless of the cut form — fillets, steaks, or other meat portions all require the same harvest event data (vessel, flag state, fishing area, gear type) and chain-of-custody records. The reporting obligation is tied to the species, not the product form.
