Overview
This classification covers frozen shrimp and prawns that are shell-on and specifically farmed. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its count size, measured by the number of headless shrimp or prawns per kilogram. Specifically, this code applies to shipments where the count size falls between 67 and 88 per kilogram, which is equivalent to a size range of 31 to 40 "count" when expressed in terms of individual shrimp or prawn weights.
This HTS code differentiates these farmed, shell-on shrimp and prawns from other count sizes within the same broader category. For instance, it is distinct from smaller sizes like 33-45 per kg (0306.17.00.05) or larger sizes such as 89-110 per kg (0306.17.00.11). The precise count size is the critical factor for proper classification here, ensuring accurate trade statistics and duty application.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level based on the product being farmed, frozen, shell-on shrimp or prawns with a headless weight count of 67-88 per kilogram. Importers should ensure their documentation accurately reflects this specific count size to avoid misclassification.
