Last updated: August 2026 dataPreserved crustaceans not elsewhere specified — covering species such as crab, lobster, and krill processed by drying, salting, brining, or smoking — enter the US under a single 10-digit line (0306990100), making precise species documentation critical for FDA admissibility review. Egypt leads US imports under this heading, an unusual sourcing pattern that reflects regional processing of Red Sea and Mediterranean crustacean species. Canada and South Korea are also notable suppliers, representing very different product profiles: Canadian product tends toward cold-water species while Korean shipments often include dried krill and specialty shellfish. Importers should confirm that the foreign establishment is registered with FDA and that labeling accurately identifies the crustacean species by common or usual name.

Species not covered by more specific headings — such as certain crab, lobster, krill, and barnacle products that have been dried, salted, brined, or smoked — are classified here. Importers should confirm species identity in commercial documentation, as misclassification between this heading and species-specific headings is a common audit finding.
Egypt's position reflects its processing capacity for Red Sea and Eastern Mediterranean crustacean species, particularly dried and salted shellfish destined for ethnic food retail channels. Importers sourcing from Egypt should verify FDA facility registration and check for any active import alerts before arranging shipment.
