Overview
This HTS classification covers frozen, shell-on shrimp and prawns that are imported in accordance with statistical note 1 to Chapter 3. Specifically, this category applies to "farmed" varieties and is further distinguished by their count size. The products classified here are measured by the number of shrimp or prawns per kilogram, expressed as a "count size (headless weight) 111-132 per kg (51-60s)". This designation refers to shrimp and prawns where, on average, between 111 and 132 headless individuals would be needed to make up one kilogram of product.
The distinction between this HTS code and its sibling categories lies precisely in this count size metric. Each sibling category represents a different range of shrimp and prawn sizes, from smaller sizes (e.g., 15s, 20s) to larger ones. This particular subcategory is for medium-to-small sized shrimp and prawns within the context of this statistical grouping. The "farmed" designation further narrows the scope, indicating that these crustaceans are not wild-caught.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, and any product meeting all the preceding criteria – frozen, shell-on, imported per statistical note 1, farmed, and specifically within the 111-132 count size range (headless weight) – will be classified under HTS Code 0306.17.00.13.
