Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the shrimp content exceeds the clam content by weight
Chapter 16 Note 2 directs classification to the predominant component; if shrimp predominates, subheading 1605.21 applies.
If the fish extract from fish sauce is the predominant fish component
If fish meat or extract outweighs the molluscs, heading 16.04 may be more appropriate.

• Verify that the combined weight of clams and shrimp exceeds 20% of the total product weight to qualify for Chapter 16
