About meat and edible offal; of fowls of the species gallus domesticus, not cut in pieces, fresh or chilled

HS code 020711 covers the trade of fresh or chilled whole chickens, a staple protein source for many countries around the world. As a key component of the global poultry industry, this code represents a significant portion of international trade, with chicken meat being one of the most widely consumed animal proteins globally. The production and export of whole chickens plays an important role in the food security and economic development of many nations.

Production process

The production of whole, fresh or chilled chickens covered under HS code 020711 involves several key steps. Chickens are first raised on specialized poultry farms, where they are fed a balanced diet and provided with appropriate housing and care. Once the birds reach the desired size and maturity, they are humanely slaughtered, plucked, and eviscerated. The whole carcasses are then rapidly chilled to preserve freshness and quality before being packaged and prepared for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of whole, fresh or chilled chickens under HS code 020711 include live chickens, feed (such as grains, soy, and supplements), water, electricity, and specialized processing equipment. Poultry farms, hatcheries, and processing facilities also require land, buildings, and a skilled workforce to operate efficiently.

Production outputs
