Shrimp & Prawns, Prepared or Preserved (Not in Airtight Containers)

Antidumping duty orders on warm-water shrimp have covered several major supplier countries at various times. Importers must check the current scope of active ADD orders with CBP and the Department of Commerce, as duty rates and covered countries can change. Scope rulings may also affect whether a specific prepared product falls within an order.

India is the leading supplier, followed by Vietnam and Indonesia. Thailand and Ecuador are also significant sources. The mix of suppliers shifts with ADD order status, aquaculture output cycles, and cold-chain logistics capacity.

Breaded frozen shrimp is specifically captured at 1605211020, while other frozen prepared shrimp falls under 1605211025 or 1605211030 depending on preparation. Products containing fish meat or constituting prepared meals are classified under 1605210500. The breading and freezing status must be confirmed on the commercial invoice to ensure correct line selection.
