Frozen Swordfish Fillets from Japan
Frozen fillets of swordfish (Xiphias gladius), typically cut from the prime loin section, skinless and boneless for premium quality. These are frozen fillets, not minced, and are not prepared or preserved beyond freezing, so they are classified under tariff item 0304.84.00. The specific cut or quality grade does not alter the tariff classification.
