Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

1605.10Same rate: 40%

If specifically labeled as 'crabmeat' in paste form

Pure pasteurized crabmeat has a dedicated subheading, differing from frozen whole meat sections.

0710.80.97Higher: 49.9% vs 40%

If dehydrated or freeze-dried crabmeat

Dried leguminous vegetables or similar don't apply; dehydrated seafood moves to Chapter 7 or 20 for preserved vegetables/fruits, but crab is Chapter 16 primarily.

0306.17.00Lower: 35% vs 40%

If for industrial bulk without consumer packaging

Bulk uncooked frozen crab for further processing stays in Chapter 3, not as finished preserved meat.
