Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If shell-off or peeled
Shell-off cold-water shrimp fall under 0306.17, as the heading separates shell-on (0306.16) from peeled or deveined products regardless of size.
If not Pandalus spp. or Crangon crangon but other warm-water shrimp
Other frozen shrimp species like Litopenaeus vannamei are classified under 0306.19, excluding cold-water specific headings 0306.16-0306.17.
If cooked before or during freezing
Cooked shrimp, even if frozen, move to Chapter 16 under prepared or preserved crustaceans, not raw frozen in Chapter 3.
