Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If farmed rather than wild-caught
Farmed shrimp (shell-on, same size) fall under the farmed statistical suffix, separating aquaculture from wild harvest.
If headless (shell-off) instead of shell-on
Headless shrimp of the same size and type are classified under the headless heading, changing from shell-on to peeled form.
If live, fresh, or chilled rather than frozen
Unfrozen states (live/fresh/chilled) for cold water shrimp move to Chapter 03 heading 0303, excluding preserved/frozen products.
