Crabs, whether in shell or not, live, fresh or chilled (excl. "Cancer pagurus")
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

Machine translation from Russian. The original is the EEC explanatory note, and that is what a classification dispute is argued from; the translation is for understanding and has no legal force.

This heading covers: (1) crustaceans, in shell or not, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine; (2) smoked crustaceans, in shell or not, whether or not cooked before or during the smoking process; (3) crustaceans, in shell, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water (whether or not with the addition of small quantities of provisional chemical preservatives); they may also be chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine. The main kinds of crustaceans are lobsters, rock lobsters, freshwater crayfish, crabs and shrimps. The heading also covers parts of crustaceans (e.g., "tails" of rock lobsters or of lobsters, crab claws), provided that, being without shell, they have not undergone any processing other than that referred to in item (1) above. The heading also covers flours, meals and pellets of crustaceans, fit for human consumption. The heading excludes: (a) sea urchins and other aquatic invertebrates of heading 0308; (b) crustaceans (including parts thereof), prepared or preserved by processes not provided for in this heading (e.g., crustaceans without shell, boiled in water) (heading 1605).
