What HS 0302.47 covers
This HS code encompasses fresh or chilled whole swordfish (Xiphias gladius), specifically excluding fillets, fish meat, and edible offal. Swordfish is a highly migratory, predatory fish, prized globally for its firm texture and rich flavor, often considered a premium seafood item. International trade in fresh swordfish primarily involves fishing nations with significant longline fleets exporting to high-value markets. Importers are typically high-end restaurants, specialty seafood distributors, and upscale retailers in developed economies, particularly in Europe, North America, and Asia. Key considerations for trade include strict adherence to international fishing quotas and conservation measures (e.g., ICCAT recommendations), robust cold chain logistics to maintain optimal freshness, and ensuring traceability from catch to consumer. The demand for sustainably sourced swordfish is also a growing factor in its global trade.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
