Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If headless (shell-on tail)
Headless shell-on shrimp shift to 0306.17 as they no longer qualify as shell-on whole under 0306.16.
If warm-water species like white shrimp
Excludes cold-water Pandalus spp.; warm-water shrimp like Litopenaeus vannamei fall under other shrimp subheadings.
If processed into boiled and peeled for human consumption
Heavily processed, cooked, peeled shrimp become 'other prepared products' in heading 0309, not raw frozen crustaceans.
