Overview
This HTS category, 0306.17.00.29, specifically classifies frozen, shell-on shrimp and prawns that are not farmed and have a count size exceeding 154 per kilogram (equivalent to approximately 70 count per pound, often referred to as "70s"). These are typically smaller varieties of shrimp where a significant number are required to reach one kilogram of headless weight. The "headless weight" metric is crucial for size determination in commercial trade.
The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the size specification. Categories such as 0306.17.00.17 and 0306.17.00.19 classify larger shrimp, with fewer per kilogram. This specific subcategory captures the smallest-sized shrimp within the "not farmed, shell-on" frozen shrimp and prawn grouping, differentiating them based on the precise number of individual units comprising a kilogram.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, based on the product being frozen, shell-on shrimp or prawns, not farmed, and falling within the specified size range of more than 154 per kilogram.
