Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as frozen whole clusters with shell, not extracted meat
Frozen snow crab clusters in shells are under Chapter 3 as unprepared; meat extraction makes it prepared under 1605.
If from C. bairdi species instead of C. opilio
Species-specific subheadings separate C. opilio (small) from other snow crabs like C. bairdi in frozen crabmeat.
If dried or dehydrated rather than frozen
Dehydrated crabmeat falls under Chapter 7 as frozen or dried vegetables/legumes, but no—wait, actually for aquatic, it stays in 1605 if preserved; but dried shifts to 1605.90.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use IQF processing certificates to prove compliance with freezing standards and prevent thawing issues during customs inspection
• Label with exact species (C. opilio) and size ('small') to match HTS criteria and avoid reclassification to general crabmeat
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Asian-sourced snow crab; provide origin certificates for potential exemptions
