Last updated: July 2026 dataCold-water shrimps and prawns — species such as Pandalus borealis harvested from North Atlantic and North Pacific fisheries — are classified under 030616 and subdivided at the 10-digit level by shell-on count size (from fewer than 33 per kg up to more than 154 per kg) and by peeled form (0306160040). The size-count breakdowns matter commercially because foodservice buyers and retail packers specify count ranges precisely, and misclassification between size brackets is a common audit finding. All imported seafood under this heading is subject to FDA entry review, and shipments from certain origins may be subject to automatic detention or sampling under FDA import alerts. Cold-water species command premium positioning in the US market relative to warm-water farmed shrimp, making accurate species and origin documentation essential for both compliance and marketing claims.

The US schedule breaks 030616 into shell-on size-count brackets — ranging from fewer than 33 pieces per kilogram (0306160003) through more than 154 per kilogram (0306160027) — plus a separate line for peeled cold-water shrimp (0306160040). Importers must declare the correct count range based on the actual product specification; blended-count lots that straddle a bracket require careful averaging or lot segregation.
FDA requires prior notice of importation for all seafood shipments and applies HACCP-based seafood safety regulations to importers. Depending on the country of origin and the exporter's compliance history, FDA may place shipments under automatic detention requiring laboratory testing before release. Importers should maintain supplier certificates of analysis, country-of-origin records, and HACCP documentation to expedite admissibility review. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered import specialist for entry-specific guidance.
