Fermented Shrimp Paste Belacan from Germany
Fermented shrimp paste, known as belacan, is made from small shrimp that are sun-dried and fermented, resulting in a dense paste. This is a prepared or preserved crustacean product, but since it is not in a form covered by specific shrimp subheadings, it falls under the tariff item for other crustaceans.
