About molluscs; stromboid conchs (strombus spp.), whether in shell or not, includes flours, meals, and pellets of molluscs, fit for human consumption, dried, salted, in brine, or smoked, cooked or not before or during the smoking process

HS code 030788 covers a diverse range of molluscs, including stromboid conchs (Strombus spp.), that are processed for human consumption. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and other essential nutrients. The production and trade of these molluscs contribute to the livelihoods of coastal communities worldwide and are an important component of the broader food and agriculture sector.

Production process

Molluscs under HS code 030788 can be processed in various ways, including drying, salting, brining, and smoking. The specific techniques used depend on the type of mollusc and the desired final product. For example, stromboid conchs may be harvested, cleaned, and then dried or smoked to preserve them for long-term storage and transportation. Other molluscs may be shucked, cooked, and then packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of molluscs under HS code 030788 include the raw molluscs themselves, which are typically harvested from coastal waters or aquaculture facilities. Additional inputs may include salt, brine solutions, and fuel or equipment for drying, smoking, or other processing methods. Depending on the scale of production, specialized machinery for cleaning, shucking, and packaging the molluscs may also be required.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 030788 is the processed molluscs, which can be sold fresh, dried, salted, or smoked. These products may be consumed directly or used as ingredients in other food products. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by a variety of other HS codes, including 160521 Molluscs, prepared or preserved, 160529 Molluscs, prepared or preserved, n.e.s., and 230120 Flours, meals and pellets of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption.
