Overview
This HTS classification, 0306.36.00.20, specifically designates shell-on shrimps and prawns that are imported in accordance with statistical note 1 to Chapter 3 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This category encompasses live, fresh, or chilled crustaceans of the shrimp and prawn varieties where the shell is still intact. The key criterion for inclusion under this code is the presence of the shell and the condition (live, fresh, or chilled) at the time of import, as well as adherence to specific statistical reporting requirements outlined in the relevant note.
The primary distinction of this category from its sibling, 0306.36.00.40, lies in the processing state of the crustacean. While 0306.36.00.40 covers peeled shrimps and prawns, this classification strictly applies to those that remain in their natural shell. Both categories fall under the broader "Other shrimps and prawns" heading, indicating they are not specifically classified under any more precise subheadings within Chapter 3.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Therefore, classification decisions at this level will hinge on confirming the presence of the shell, the condition of being live, fresh, or chilled, and compliance with Statistical Note 1.
