IQF Frozen Swordfish Portions from Japan
Individually quick frozen (IQF) swordfish portions are uniform cuts of Xiphias gladius fillets, ideal for retail packaging. 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 IQF process does not change the classification, as the item covers all frozen swordfish fillets.
