About fish; live, eels (anguilla spp.)
HS code 030192 covers the trade of live eels (Anguilla spp.), an important aquatic resource with significant economic and ecological value. Eels are a highly sought-after delicacy, particularly in Asian markets, and play a crucial role in the global seafood industry. This code encompasses the import and export of live eel specimens, which are essential for sustaining eel farming and restocking wild populations.
Production process
The production of live eels for trade primarily involves aquaculture techniques. Eel farmers carefully manage the breeding, hatching, and rearing of eel larvae in controlled environments, such as specialized eel farms or hatcheries. The young eels, known as glass eels or elvers, are then grown to marketable size through a process of feeding, water quality management, and disease control before being harvested and prepared for export.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the eel trade under HS code 030192 include the raw material of live eel specimens, which are typically sourced from eel farms or wild catch. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and infrastructure, such as eel farming tanks, water treatment systems, and transportation logistics to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of live eels to domestic and international markets.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 030192 is the live eel specimens, which are then consumed or utilized by various downstream industries. These live eels may be further processed, such as being smoked or grilled, and sold as a high-value seafood product. They may also be used as input for 030291 (Fish; live, other than trout (Salmo trutta), eels (Anguilla spp.), carp (Cyprinus spp.), and Atlantic and Pacific bluefin tunas (Thunnus thynnus, Thunnus orientalis) or 030299 (Fish; live, other than trout (Salmo trutta), eels (Anguilla spp.), carp (Cyprinus spp.), and Atlantic and Pacific bluefin tunas (Thunnus thynnus, Thunnus orientalis), n.e.c. in item no. 0302.91).
