Overview
This HTS category encompasses frozen snow crab. This classification is specifically for crabs of the species *Chionoecetes* that have been preserved through freezing. It applies to snow crab in various forms, including whole, sections, or picked meat, provided the primary method of preservation is freezing and they are not otherwise classified under a more specific sibling category.
Within the broader classification of frozen crabs, this category is distinct from "King crab" and "Dungeness crab," which are reserved for other specific species. The "Other" designation at this level, with the HTS code 0306.14.40.90, would generally cover any frozen crab species not explicitly named. Therefore, 0306.14.40.20 serves as the precise endpoint for classifying frozen snow crab, ensuring accurate tariff application.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification terminates with frozen snow crab, meaning that any product fitting this description and not falling under a more specific sibling will be classified here. Practical classification will rely on the identification of the species as *Chionoecetes* and confirmation that the product is in a frozen state.
