HS v2017 Code: 030694

About crustaceans; norway lobsters (nephrops norvegicus), smoked, cooked or not, whether in shell or not, whether or not cooked before or during smoking

HS code 030694 covers a specific type of crustacean - the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus). These lobsters are an important commercial species, widely fished and consumed across Europe and beyond. As a high-value seafood product, Norway lobsters play a significant role in the global trade of crustaceans and contribute to the broader fishing and aquaculture industry.

Production process

Norway lobsters are typically caught using specialized traps or trawls. After being harvested, they may be processed in various ways, including smoking, cooking, or leaving them in the shell. The smoking process involves exposing the lobsters to smoke, which can impart unique flavors and help preserve the meat. Cooking may occur before, during, or after the smoking process, depending on the desired final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the Norway lobster industry include the raw material - the live 030694 (Crustaceans; Norway lobsters (Nephrops norvegicus)) - as well as any necessary processing equipment, such as traps, trawls, smokers, and cooking facilities. Skilled labor, transportation, and packaging materials are also important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030694 is smoked, cooked, or raw Norway lobster meat, either in or out of the shell. These products may be consumed directly or used as inputs for other seafood dishes and preparations. The outputs of this industry may be further processed or packaged for distribution and sale, potentially intersecting with other HS codes, such as 160520 Crustaceans, prepared or preserved.

Revisions to 030694
