HS v2017 Code: 030719

About molluscs; oysters, whether in shell or not, dried, salted or in brine, smoked, cooked or not before or during the smoking process

HS code 030719 covers a diverse range of molluscs, including oysters, that have been dried, salted, brined, smoked, or cooked. This industry plays a vital role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and nutrients. Oysters and other molluscs are highly sought-after delicacies, with demand driven by both domestic consumption and international export markets.

Production process

The production of molluscs under HS code 030719 typically involves several key steps. Oysters and other molluscs are first harvested from their natural habitats or aquaculture facilities. They may then be processed through various methods, such as shucking, cleaning, and grading. Depending on the desired final product, the molluscs may be dried, salted, brined, smoked, or cooked, either before or during the smoking process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of molluscs under HS code 030719 include the raw molluscs themselves, which can be sourced from both wild-caught and aquaculture operations. Additionally, producers may require specialized equipment for processing, such as shucking machines, drying or smoking chambers, and packaging materials. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel for drying and smoking processes, are also important inputs.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 030719 are dried, salted, brined, smoked, or cooked molluscs, particularly oysters. These products are often consumed directly as food items or used as ingredients in various culinary applications. The outputs of this industry may be further processed or incorporated into the production of other seafood-based products, such as 160521 Molluscs, prepared or preserved, 160529 Molluscs, prepared or preserved, n.e.s., or 160300 Extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates.
