About fish; fresh or chilled, turbots (psetta maxima, scophthalmidae), excluding fillets, fish meat of 0304, and edible fish offal of subheadings 0302.91 to 0302.99

HS code 030224 covers the import and export of fresh or chilled turbots, a type of flatfish that belongs to the Scophthalmidae family. Turbots are a highly sought-after seafood delicacy, prized for their firm, flavorful flesh. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, meeting the growing demand for high-quality, sustainable fish products.

Production process

Turbots are typically caught using a variety of fishing methods, including trawling, gillnetting, and longlining. After being harvested, the fish are carefully handled and stored to maintain their freshness and quality. This often involves rapid chilling, proper temperature control, and careful packaging to ensure the turbots arrive at their destination in optimal condition.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the turbot fishing industry include fishing vessels, specialized fishing gear, fuel, and labor. Additionally, the industry relies on a well-developed infrastructure for cold storage, transportation, and distribution to ensure the timely delivery of fresh turbots to domestic and international markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030224 is fresh or chilled turbot fish. These turbots may be consumed directly by end-users or utilized as an input for other industries, such as 030499 Fish fillets and other fish meat, whether or not minced, fresh, chilled or frozen or 160419 Prepared or preserved fish; fish meat, other than whole or in pieces.
