Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If farmed rather than wild
Farmed shell-on shrimp in the same size range fall under the farmed subcategory, changing the statistical suffix while staying in the same heading.
If peeled and deveined (shell-off)
Removing the shell shifts classification to shelled shrimp under 0306.16, as heading 0306 distinguishes shell-on from peeled forms.
If live, fresh, or chilled instead of frozen
Non-frozen states (live, fresh, chilled) for cold-water shrimp move to heading 0307, separate from frozen crustaceans in 0306.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify compliance with Section 609 (16 U.S.C. 1537 note) requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor; provide documentation from suppliers
• Include accurate count size labeling (89-110 per kg headless weight) and confirm wild/not farmed status via affidavits to match statistical note 1
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as head-on or farmed; use FDA prior notice and ensure cold chain integrity for frozen crustaceans
