About fish; frozen, dogfish and other sharks, excluding fillets, fish meat of 0304, and edible fish offal of subheadings 0303.91 to 0303.99

HS code 030381 covers the classification of frozen dogfish and other shark species, excluding certain fish products such as fillets and offal. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and other essential nutrients. Shark meat is widely consumed in various cuisines around the world, making this industry an important contributor to the broader food and beverage sector.

Production process

The production of frozen dogfish and other shark products typically involves a multi-step process. First, the sharks are caught using specialized fishing methods, such as longlines or gillnets. The sharks are then brought onboard, where they are cleaned, processed, and frozen to preserve their freshness and quality. The freezing process can involve blast freezing or cryogenic freezing, depending on the specific requirements of the product and the production facility.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of frozen dogfish and other shark products include the raw materials (i.e., the sharks themselves), fishing equipment and vessels, processing machinery, and energy sources for the freezing and storage processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including fishermen, processors, and logistics personnel, to ensure the efficient and sustainable production of these seafood products.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is frozen dogfish and other shark meat, which can be sold to a variety of 030499 Fish fillets and other fish meat, whether or not minced, fresh, chilled or frozen and 160300 Caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs industries. The frozen shark meat may also be used in the production of 160420 Prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs and other value-added seafood products.
