0306.35.00 - Cold-water shrimps and prawns (Pandalus spp., Crangon crangon)

This HTS category, 0306.35.00, specifically covers cold-water shrimps and prawns. This classification pertains to species such as *Pandalus* spp. and *Crangon crangon*, which are commercially harvested from colder marine environments. These crustaceans are classified in this subheading regardless of whether they are imported live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, or in brine, as well as if they have been smoked.

To distinguish this from its siblings, it is important to note that while other subheadings within 0306.3 cover various crustaceans like rock lobsters, sea crawfish, lobsters, crabs, and Norway lobsters, 0306.35.00 is exclusively dedicated to specific types of cold-water shrimps and prawns. It differentiates itself from the "Other shrimps and prawns" subheading (0306.36.00) by focusing solely on the cold-water varieties.

Further subdivision within this category is based on the processing state of the product. Subcategories 0306.35.00.20 and 0306.35.00.40 distinguish between shell-on and peeled cold-water shrimps and prawns, respectively. These distinctions are particularly relevant when imported in accordance with statistical note 1 to chapter 3, highlighting the importance of processing details for accurate customs declaration and statistical tracking.
