Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen crabs span one of the most granular species breakdowns in the US seafood tariff schedule, with ten distinct 10-digit lines separating crabmeat (0306142000) from whole or in-shell product by species: red, blue, and golden/brown king crab, Southern red santolla, snow crab, Dungeness crab, and a residual NESOI line. Canada leads supply — particularly for snow and Dungeness crab — with Norway prominent for king crab, and Argentina, Mexico, and Japan rounding out the top sources. USDA FSIS admissibility requirements apply to all lines. Species misidentification is a significant compliance risk given the number of lines and the value differences between species; importers should obtain species certificates from the exporting establishment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Each species must be classified under its own 10-digit line — for example, snow crab under 0306144020 and Dungeness under 0306144030. Mixed-species shipments should be segregated by species in the commercial invoice and packing list, with separate line items for each. Commingled product without species segregation documentation may be classified under the NESOI line (0306144090) or subject to CBP inquiry. A licensed customs broker should review the entry for mixed-species shipments.
Southern red santolla (Lithodes santolla), sourced primarily from South American waters, has its own dedicated tariff line (0306144012) separate from red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus, 0306144003), blue king crab (0306144006), and golden/brown king crab (0306144009). Species documentation from the exporting establishment identifying the scientific name is essential to correctly distinguish santolla from other king crab species and avoid misclassification.
