Overview
This HTS classification covers swordfish (Xiphias gladius) that are imported fresh or chilled. This heading specifically excludes swordfish that have undergone any form of processing beyond simple chilling or refrigeration, such as filleting or being prepared as fish meat, which would fall under heading 0304. The classification is limited to whole swordfish or those that have been merely gutted or headed, but otherwise retain their original form.
Within the broader category of fresh or chilled fish, this subheading distinguishes itself by specifically identifying swordfish as the subject of classification. It is a distinct item from other large pelagic fish like mackerels or bonitos, each having their own dedicated classifications. This level of specificity ensures accurate tariff application based on the species of fish.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0302.47.00.90. The classification is further refined by its sibling category, 0302.47.00.10, which specifically covers swordfish presented as steaks. Therefore, this "Other" category is intended to capture all fresh or chilled swordfish that are not presented in steak form, such as whole, dressed, or head-on, gutted swordfish.
