Frozen Cold-Water Shrimps and Prawns (Pandalus spp., Crangon crangon)

Classified specifically to the genera Pandalus and Crangon crangon, these cold-water shrimps are distinct from tropical farmed species and are widely traded in both shell-on and peeled forms for foodservice and retail markets. The US tariff schedule breaks shell-on product into nine count-per-kilogram size brackets — from under 33/kg through over 154/kg — plus a separate peeled line (0306160040), making accurate size-grading at packing critical for correct classification. Ecuador leads US import supply, with Canada a significant secondary source reflecting North Atlantic wild-catch volumes. All shipments require FDA prior notice and are subject to admissibility review at entry.
