Cold-water shrimps and prawns (Pandalus spp., Crangon crangon)
Analysis
HTS 0306.16.00 covers cold-water shrimps and prawns (Pandalus spp., Crangon crangon) under heading 0306 (crustaceans, whether in shell or not, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 10 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 7.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 0306.93.20 (crabs: crabmeat), at 7.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 7.5 percentage points.
The ten-digit suffixes separate count size, count size, count size, count size, count size and count size and 4 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 86% of the 272 tariff lines in chapter 03. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
