Overview

This HTS category, 0306.95.00.20, specifically classifies "Shell-on" shrimps and prawns. These are crustaceans that have not had their shells removed. The classification is contingent upon the goods being imported in accordance with statistical note 1 to Chapter 3 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which may outline specific import procedures or documentation requirements.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling, 0306.95.00.40, which covers "Peeled" shrimps and prawns. The key difference lies in the presence or absence of the shell. Therefore, if the shrimp or prawn still retains its exoskeleton, it falls under this category, provided the statistical note is met.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0306.95.00.20 is definitive based on the "shell-on" characteristic and compliance with the stipulated statistical note for import. This ensures accurate reporting and duty assessment for these specific forms of shrimp and prawn.
