About crustaceans; frozen, crabs, in shell or not, smoked, cooked or not before or during smoking; in shell, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water

HS code 030614 covers a significant segment of the global crustacean trade, focusing on frozen crabs in shell or not, including those that have been smoked, cooked, or prepared through steaming or boiling. This industry plays a crucial role in meeting the worldwide demand for seafood, particularly in the food service and retail sectors. As a key component of the broader 030600 Crustaceans industry, the crab trade represented by this code is an important contributor to international trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of the crustacean products covered by HS code 030614 typically involves several key steps. Crabs are first harvested, either through commercial fishing or aquaculture operations. They are then processed, which may include cleaning, cooking, smoking, or freezing, depending on the final product. Careful handling and temperature control are essential throughout the production process to ensure food safety and quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the industry covered by HS code 030614 include live crabs, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, producers may require specialized equipment for processing, such as cooking, freezing, and packaging machinery. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the various production stages. Finally, labor, transportation, and logistics services are important inputs to support the harvesting, processing, and distribution of these crustacean products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry represented by HS code 030614 are frozen, cooked, or smoked crab products, both in shell and out of shell. These crab-based items are then consumed by a range of downstream industries, including 160510 Crustacean products, prepared or preserved, 160520 Molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved, and the broader food service and retail sectors.
