Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in shells, even if cooked, and not fully shelled meat
Cooked king crab in shells classifies as 'not frozen' prepared crustaceans in Chapter 3, not extracted meat.
If blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) rather than king crab
Specific subheadings differentiate by species; blue crab has its own airtight container code.
If dried or dehydrated without airtight canning
Dried crustacean meat falls under Chapter 7 as frozen, dried, or otherwise preserved vegetables/legumes, but unlikely for crab.
