Last updated: August 2026 dataSwordfish steaks — cross-cut portions of the loin shipped fresh or chilled — are the premium foodservice form of Xiphias gladius and carry their own 10-digit line distinct from other swordfish presentations. The steak format commands higher per-unit value and tighter cold-chain requirements than whole fish, making temperature documentation at entry particularly important. FDA prior notice, seafood HACCP records, and NOAA HMS import documentation are all required; importers should also be aware that FDA has issued guidance on methylmercury levels in swordfish. Work with a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent to confirm current admissibility requirements before shipment.

A steak is a transverse cross-cut through the loin, yielding a bone-in or boneless slice of uniform thickness. A loin is a lengthwise cut running along the spine. Loins and other non-steak, non-fillet cuts of fresh swordfish fall to 0302470090, not this line. If the cut form is ambiguous, a binding ruling from CBP can provide certainty.
The HMS statistical document requirement applies to swordfish as a species regardless of the cut form. Importers of swordfish steaks under 0302470010 must obtain the same ICCAT-compliant catch documentation as importers of whole swordfish under 0302470090.
