1605.10.40.05 - C. opilio (small) 🖩

This HTS classification covers frozen snow crab meat specifically from the species *Chionoecetes opilio*, often referred to as "small" snow crab. This designation differentiates it from larger specimens of the same species or from other species of snow crab. The product is exclusively crab meat, prepared and preserved through freezing, and intended for consumption.

At this level, the primary distinction is between specific species or sizes of snow crab meat. While sibling category 1605.10.40.10 "Other" may encompass frozen snow crab meat from different *Chionoecetes* species not explicitly listed here or potentially mixed snow crab meat, this code is precisely for *C. opilio* (small) where the species and size are identifiable.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges on the precise identification of the species as *Chionoecetes opilio* and its classification as "small" relative to other products within the snow crab category. Importations falling under this code must meet these specific criteria to ensure accurate duty assessment and trade compliance.
