About crustaceans; frozen, n.e.c. in item no. 0306.1, in shell or not, smoked, cooked or not before or during smoking; in shell, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water; including edible flours, meals, and pellets of crustaceans

HS code 030619 covers a wide range of frozen crustacean products, including those that have been smoked, cooked, or processed in various ways. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and meeting the growing demand for convenient and versatile seafood options. As a key component of the broader 030600 Crustaceans industry, the products under this code are widely used in various culinary applications and food manufacturing processes.

Production process

The production of frozen crustacean products under HS code 030619 typically involves several key steps. First, the raw crustaceans are harvested, either from the wild or through aquaculture. They are then sorted, cleaned, and may undergo various processing techniques, such as cooking, smoking, or shelling. The processed crustaceans are then frozen, either individually or in bulk, to preserve their freshness and quality. The frozen products are then packaged and prepared for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of frozen crustacean products under HS code 030619 include the raw crustaceans themselves, which can be sourced from both wild-caught and farmed sources. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment for processing, freezing, and packaging the products, as well as energy sources, transportation, and labor. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the overall production and competitiveness of the industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 030619 are various frozen crustacean products, such as shrimp, lobster, crab, and other types of shellfish. These products are widely used in the 160521 Crustaceans, prepared or preserved industry, as well as in the 160529 Crustaceans, prepared or preserved, n.e.c. industry. Additionally, the industry may produce edible flours, meals, and pellets made from crustaceans, which can be used as ingredients in other food products or as animal feed.
