0303.57.00.10 - Steaks

This HTS classification, 0303.57.00.10, specifically designates frozen steaks derived from swordfish (Xiphias gladius). These are whole fish, processed into steak-like portions for ease of distribution and consumption, while retaining their frozen state. The key defining characteristic for this subcategory is the species of fish: swordfish.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0303.57.00.90, which is categorized as "Other." The "Other" category would encompass any frozen steaks of fish that are not swordfish but fall under the broader heading of Herrings, anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and similar species (0303.57). Therefore, the presence of the species identifier "swordfish" is the critical factor for inclusion in this specific classification.

As a leaf node, 0303.57.00.10 does not have further subcategories. This means that all frozen swordfish steaks, regardless of size, origin, or specific processing methods beyond being cut into steaks and frozen, will be classified under this code. The classification hinges solely on the species of fish and its preparation into a steak form in a frozen state.
