1605.29.10 - Other

This category, HTS 1605.29.10, encompasses prepared or preserved shrimp and prawns that do not fall under the specific exclusion for products containing fish meat or prepared meals, as found in sibling category 1605.29.05.00. It serves as a residual classification for shrimp and prawn preparations not otherwise specified within Chapter 16, following their initial categorization as crustaceans.

The key differentiating factor for this classification lies in its exclusion of composite goods that primarily feature fish meat or are presented as complete meals. Therefore, this category focuses exclusively on preparations where shrimp and prawns are the dominant aquatic invertebrate ingredient and are not combined with significant amounts of fish or sold as a ready-to-eat meal.

Within this "Other" designation, further distinctions are made based on importation protocols. Subcategory 1605.29.10.10 specifically addresses frozen shrimp and prawns imported under the conditions outlined in statistical note 1 to Chapter 16. Conversely, 1605.29.10.40 covers all other preparations of shrimp and prawns that are also imported in accordance with statistical note 1, but do not meet the frozen criteria of the preceding subcategory.
