Last updated: August 2026 dataIndia dominates US imports of preserved shrimps and prawns under this heading, with Thailand and Mexico also among the leading suppliers — a concentration that has drawn recurring antidumping scrutiny on shrimp from several Asian origins. The US schedule distinguishes shell-on (0306950020) from peeled (0306950040) product, a split that affects both duty treatment and end-use routing into foodservice versus retail repack channels. Dried and salted shrimp are widely used in Asian and Latin American cuisines as flavor bases, making this a specialty ingredient category with distinct labeling and net-weight declaration requirements at entry. FDA reviews all seafood imports under HACCP-based seafood safety regulations, and shipments from unapproved facilities or with prior detention history may face automatic detention.

The schedule breaks out shell-on shrimps and prawns under 0306950020 and peeled product under 0306950040, with a residual NESOI line at 0306950000. This distinction matters for duty calculation and for buyers specifying yield-adjusted pricing, since peeled product carries a higher value-to-weight ratio.
All seafood imports require an FDA-registered foreign facility and a HACCP-compliant seafood safety plan. Shrimp from several Asian origins, including India and Thailand, have been subject to antidumping orders and FDA import alerts for drug residues, so importers should verify current order scope and facility admissibility status before shipment.
