Dried Black Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
Dried black mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are whole mussels that have been dehydrated for long-term storage, typically used in soups and stews. They fall under tariff item 0307.39.10 because they are smoked, and the drying process does not exclude them from this classification. The chapter notes confirm that 'dried' includes dehydrated products, and these are not flours, meals, or pellets.
0307.39.10Dried New Zealand Green Mussels (Perna canaliculus)

If not smoked, they would not fall under this item, but the description indicates they are dried without additives, so the smoking status must be verified.
