Overview
This HTS classification, 0306.17.00.11, specifically denotes frozen, shell-on shrimp and prawns that are farmed and imported under the conditions stipulated in statistical note 1 of Chapter 3. The defining characteristic of this category is its count size, measured by headless weight, which ranges from 89 to 110 shrimp or prawns per kilogram. This corresponds to a "2s" count for purposes of international trade measurement.
This classification is distinct from its sibling categories primarily by its precise count size range. For instance, sibling categories cover smaller counts such as "less than 33 per kg" (0306.17.00.04) or medium counts like "33-45 per kg" (0306.17.00.05). Therefore, the key differentiator for 0306.17.00.11 is its specific enumeration of shrimp and prawns within the specified weight parameters, ensuring accurate distinction based on size and economic value.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0306.17.00.11 is final, meaning the specific physical characteristics and provenance of the farmed, frozen, shell-on shrimp or prawns, as defined by the count size, fully determine their placement. This level of detail is crucial for accurate tariff application and trade statistics.
