U.S. imports of crab, prepared or preserved (HS 160510) totaled $55.5M in April 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Importers of Crab, Prepared or Preserved paid $5.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $50.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPrepared and preserved crab products span a wide range of species and pack formats under this heading, with the US tariff schedule distinguishing king crab, snow crab (including the smaller Chionoecetes opilio), Dungeness, Callinectes (blue crab), and other swimming crabs across both airtight-container and frozen presentations. Indonesia and Vietnam dominate US import supply, with the Philippines also a significant source, reflecting the concentration of crab processing capacity in Southeast Asia. FDA governs admissibility of these prepared seafood products, and importers should be aware that certain crab lines have been subject to antidumping proceedings historically, making origin documentation especially important. Proper species identification at the 10-digit level is essential, as duty rates and trade-remedy exposure can differ substantially by species and pack type.

The US tariff schedule under 160510 separates products primarily by packaging: hermetically sealed (airtight) containers such as cans or retort pouches are classified in the 1605102010–1605102090 range, while frozen crabmeat not in airtight containers falls in the 1605104002–1605104040 range. Products that are both frozen and in airtight containers should be classified based on the airtight-container lines, as that characteristic takes precedence in the schedule's structure.
Certain prepared crab products, particularly from Vietnam and Indonesia, have been subject to antidumping duty investigations or orders in the past. Importers should check the current scope of any active antidumping or countervailing duty orders with CBP and the Department of Commerce before shipment, as scope determinations can turn on species, processing method, and pack format.
