0306.16.00.24 - Count size (headless weight) 133-154 per kg (61-70s)

This HTS classification, 0306.16.00.24, specifically covers frozen cold-water shrimps and prawns (identified by Pandalus spp., Crangon crangon) 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 headless weight. Goods classified here fall within the range of 133 to 154 individual shrimp or prawns per kilogram, which corresponds to a size classification of 61-70s.

This specific count size differentiates 0306.16.00.24 from its sibling categories, which represent different size gradations of frozen, shell-on cold-water shrimp and prawns. For instance, categories with smaller count numbers per kilogram (e.g., 0306.16.00.03 for 15s) indicate larger individual shrimp, while categories with higher count numbers indicate smaller shrimp. The distinction is solely based on the number of headless shrimp or prawns within a given weight, allowing for precise trade and statistical tracking.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification terminates at this point, signifying that all other relevant criteria (frozen, cold-water species, shell-on, and statistical note compliance) have been met, and the product is uniquely identified by its specific count size range of 133-154 per kilogram.
