Overview
This HTS classification, 0306.16.00.18, specifically designates frozen cold-water shrimps and prawns that are shell-on and imported in accordance with statistical note 1 to Chapter 3. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its count size, measured by the number of headless shrimp or prawns per kilogram. This particular code covers those weighing between 89 and 110 per kilogram, which translates to approximately 41 to 50 "s" count when referring to headless weight.
To distinguish this classification from its siblings, it is crucial to focus on the precise weight range. While other codes within 0306.16.00 address different count sizes (e.g., less than 33 per kg, 33-45 per kg, up to 67-88 per kg), 0306.16.00.18 isolates a specific range of medium-to-small sized shrimp and prawns. This granular distinction is vital for accurate tariff application and statistical reporting.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on precisely identifying frozen, shell-on cold-water shrimp and prawns falling within the 89-110 count per kilogram headless weight specification. Importers should ensure their documentation accurately reflects this count to comply with the classification requirements.
