About crustaceans; smoked, whole, cooked or not, n.e.c. in item no. 0306.9, in shell or not, including edible flours, meals, and pellets of crustaceans

HS code 030699 covers a wide range of crustacean products, including smoked, whole, cooked, or uncooked crustaceans, as well as edible flours, meals, and pellets derived from crustaceans. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and other essential nutrients. The demand for these products is driven by the growing global population, changing dietary preferences, and the increasing popularity of seafood-based cuisines.

Production process

The production of crustacean products under HS code 030699 involves several key steps. Crustaceans, such as shrimp, lobster, and crab, are first harvested from the wild or farmed. They may then be processed through various methods, including smoking, cooking, or freezing, to preserve their quality and extend their shelf life. Edible flours, meals, and pellets are produced by drying and grinding the crustacean meat or shells into a fine powder.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of crustacean products under HS code 030699 include the raw crustaceans themselves, which can be sourced from 030110 Live fish, 030210 Fish, fresh or chilled, or 030310 Fish, frozen. Additionally, specialized processing equipment, such as smokers, cookers, and drying/grinding machines, are necessary for the various production techniques. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also required to power the processing facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 030699 are the various crustacean products, including smoked, whole, cooked, or uncooked crustaceans, as well as edible flours, meals, and pellets. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 160520 Crustaceans, prepared or preserved, 230120 Flours, meals and pellets, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption, and the broader 030600 Crustaceans, whether in shell or not, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine; smoked crustaceans, whether in shell or not, whether or not cooked before or during the smoking process; crustaceans, in shell, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water, whether or not chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine industry.
