U.S. imports of edible flours, meals & pellets of crustaceans, molluscs & other aquatic invertebrates (HS 030990) totaled $77K in April 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Japan and New Zealand are the primary sources of edible crustacean and mollusc flours entering the US, products used in specialty food manufacturing, flavor compounds, and high-protein ingredient applications. The US tariff schedule is notably granular here, with separate 10-digit lines distinguishing frozen crustacean meal (0309901061), non-frozen crustacean meal (0309903000), live/fresh/chilled mollusc flour (0309904090), and other mollusc meals (0309906000). FDA admissibility review applies to all presentations, and importers should ensure that the source species and processing method are accurately documented to support correct line-level classification. Allergen labeling obligations under US food law are particularly relevant given the shellfish content of these products.

The distinctions reflect differences in duty treatment and, in some cases, TRQ eligibility tied to the source species and its preparation state (frozen vs. non-frozen, crustacean vs. mollusc). Correct line selection requires knowing both the taxonomic group and the physical state of the product at the time of importation.
Crustacean shellfish is one of the major food allergens under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act. Products containing shrimp, crab, lobster, or related species must declare the allergen on the label. Mollusc-derived meals may also carry advisory labeling depending on the intended use. FDA reviews these requirements at entry, and non-compliant labeling can result in refusal of admission.
