Production process

The production of goods under HS code 0210 typically involves a combination of curing, drying, and smoking techniques. Meat and offal are first salted or brined to remove moisture and inhibit microbial growth, then dried or smoked to further preserve the product. Specialized equipment, such as curing chambers, smokehouses, and dehydrators, are used to carefully control the temperature, humidity, and airflow during these processes, ensuring the final products meet food safety and quality standards.

The primary inputs for the HS code 0210 industry are raw meat and offal, typically sourced from the 0201 Meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled and 0202 Meat of bovine animals, frozen industries. Additional inputs include salt, spices, and other preservatives, as well as specialized equipment for curing, drying, and smoking the meat products. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce, including butchers, meat processors, and quality control personnel, to ensure the consistent production of high-quality processed meats.
