Overview

This HTS classification, 1605.21.10.30, covers "Other" preparations of shrimps and prawns that are not contained in airtight containers and are not breaded. This category encompasses a variety of preserved or prepared shrimp and prawn products that do not fit into more specific subheadings. Examples include shrimp and prawns that have been cooked, seasoned, or otherwise processed and then frozen, provided they are imported in accordance with statistical note 1 to chapter 16.

The key distinction of this category lies in its residual nature. It serves as a catch-all for shrimp and prawn preparations that are not specifically described elsewhere within the 1605.21.10 subheadings. Specifically, it differs from the sibling category 1605.21.10.20, which is designated for breaded shrimp and prawns. Therefore, if a product is frozen, not in an airtight container, but lacks a breaded coating, it will fall under this "Other" classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the absence of the specific characteristics that would place the product into a more narrowly defined subheading, such as being breaded or packed in an airtight container. The defining criteria are therefore what the product *is not*, in relation to its sibling categories at the same level of detail.
