Frozen Sea Cucumbers (Excluding Flours, Meals & Pellets)

Frozen sea cucumbers originating from China may be subject to Section 301 additional tariffs depending on the applicable list and any product-specific exclusions in effect at the time of entry. Importers should verify the current status of their specific product with a licensed customs broker before contracting, as rates and exclusions have changed over time.

Products classified here must be frozen sea cucumbers that are fit for human consumption but not reduced to flour, meal, or pellet form. Gutting, boiling, and freezing are typical processing steps that remain within this heading. Further processing — such as canning, marinating in sauce, or significant value-added preparation — may shift classification to Chapter 16. A licensed customs broker should review the specific processing description.
