0306.14.40.15 - Other 🖩

This HTS code, 0306.14.40.15, covers "Other" frozen crustaceans within the broader category of crabs. Specifically, it applies to frozen king crab that does not fall under the more narrowly defined classifications of Red king crab, Blue king crab, Golden/brown king crab, or Southern red santolla king crab. The key distinction for classification under this code lies in the absence of these specific species designations, meaning it encompasses any king crab varieties not explicitly listed as siblings.

The preceding levels of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule have established that we are dealing with frozen crustaceans, specifically crabs. Within the "King crab" subheading, this particular code serves as a residual category for any king crab species or mixtures thereof that do not possess the identifying characteristics of the explicitly enumerated types. This ensures that all frozen king crab products are accounted for within the tariff system, even if they are not of a commonly recognized or specifically listed species.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is determined solely by whether the frozen crab product is identifiable as one of the specific king crab species listed in the sibling categories or if it falls into the general "Other" category for king crab. This residual classification is crucial for ensuring comprehensive tariff coverage for all types of frozen king crab entering or exiting a country.
