Fish; fresh or chilled, excluding fish fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304
HS v2017 Code: 0302
About fish; fresh or chilled, excluding fish fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304
HS code 0302 covers a wide range of fresh or chilled fish, excluding processed fish products such as fillets or other meat. This industry is a critical component of the global food supply chain, providing a valuable source of protein and essential nutrients. The fishing industry plays a significant role in many national economies, contributing to employment, exports, and food security.
Production process
The production techniques for the fish covered under HS code 0302 involve various methods of catching and preserving the fish in a fresh or chilled state. This typically includes techniques such as commercial fishing using trawlers, longlines, or other specialized vessels, as well as smaller-scale artisanal fishing. The caught fish are then carefully handled, stored, and transported to ensure they remain fresh and of high quality.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of fresh or chilled fish under HS code 0302 include fishing vessels, fishing gear (e.g., nets, hooks, lines), fuel, and skilled labor. Additionally, the industry relies on access to healthy marine ecosystems and sustainable fish stocks, as well as infrastructure for storage, transportation, and distribution of the fresh fish.
Production outputs
The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 0302 is fresh or chilled fish, which can be consumed directly or used as an input for further processing, such as 0304 (Fish fillets and other fish meat (whether or not minced), fresh, chilled or frozen). The fresh or chilled fish produced under this code may be exported or sold domestically, depending on the specific market demands and trade patterns.
