0306.39.01.00 - Other

This HTS category, "Other," within the live, fresh, or chilled crustaceans, specifically covers those crustaceans that do not fall under the preceding, more specific subheadings. It serves as a residual classification for species not explicitly enumerated in categories such as rock lobster, lobsters, crabs, Norway lobsters, or cold-water shrimps and prawns. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the crustaceans must be presented live, fresh, or chilled, and do not fit into the more defined groups.

The distinction between this "Other" category and its siblings lies in the absence of specific enumerations. For example, while 0306.31.00.00 precisely identifies rock lobster and sea crawfish, and 0306.32.00 pertains to lobsters, this category encompasses all other types of crustaceans meeting the general criteria of being live, fresh, or chilled but not specifically listed. This ensures comprehensive coverage of all relevant goods within the broader scope of chapter 03.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, its utility is in capturing the remaining diversity of live, fresh, or chilled crustaceans not otherwise specified. Examples could include various species of fresh water prawns, certain types of sea snails that might be classified with crustaceans, or other less common edible marine or freshwater invertebrates that are presented live, chilled, or fresh and meet the general description of crustaceans.
