Last updated: April 2026 dataPeeled freshwater crawfish tail meat is the commercially significant specialty within this residual crustacean heading, classified at 1605401010 and long associated with antidumping proceedings against Chinese-origin product — making origin verification and AD/CVD compliance a routine concern for importers. Chile and Egypt lead US supply under this heading overall, with China also a notable source, reflecting both spiny lobster and crawfish processing capacity across those origins. The remaining line (1605401090) captures all other prepared crustaceans not elsewhere specified, including barnacles, mantis shrimp, and similar specialty items. FDA admissibility requirements apply across all lines in this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US has maintained antidumping duty orders on freshwater crawfish tail meat from China for an extended period. Importers of product from China — or product that may have been processed through a third country — should verify the current order status, applicable cash deposit rates, and any scope rulings with CBP and the Department of Commerce before importation to avoid unexpected duty liability.
Mantis shrimp (stomatopods) and barnacles are crustaceans but are not crab, shrimp, prawn, or lobster, so prepared or preserved versions would fall into the residual line 1605401090 under 160540. The key classification check is confirming the product is a crustacean (not a mollusk or other invertebrate) and that it does not fit any of the more specific crustacean headings earlier in Chapter 16.
