About this HS Code
HS Code 0306 covers crustaceans (lobsters, shrimps, crabs, etc.) whether live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, or in brine. The classification is organized by species and presentation (whole or parts), with tropical shrimp/prawns (0306.17) dominating international trade. Products range from premium live lobsters to commodity frozen shrimp. Major exporters include India, Ecuador, and Vietnam. Imports face strict controls for antibiotic residues, particularly in EU and US markets. The category intersects with aquaculture (farmed shrimp) and wild-capture fisheries, with increasing emphasis on sustainability certification and traceability requirements.
