Overview

Heading 1605 encompasses a broad range of aquatic invertebrates that have undergone preparation or preservation. This includes products like canned seafood, smoked shellfish, or frozen cephalopods, where processing has altered their form or extended their shelf life from their fresh state. The "prepared or preserved" aspect is key, distinguishing these goods from live or fresh aquatic invertebrates classified elsewhere.

While other headings within Chapter 16 might cover preparations of fish or meat, 1605 specifically focuses on crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates as the primary component. Its siblings, such as those in Chapter 01 dealing with live animals, highlight the essential difference: 1605 deals with processed, not live, aquatic life.

Within 1605, further subheadings exist to provide granular classification based on the specific type of aquatic invertebrate. These include distinct categories for crab (1605.10), shrimps and prawns, lobster (1605.30), and other crustaceans (1605.40). Additional subdivisions address molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, allowing for precise classification based on the biological grouping of the processed product. This detailed breakdown ensures accurate tariff application and trade monitoring.
