About molluscs; n.e.c. in heading 0307, whether in shell or not, includes flours, meals, and pellets of molluscs, fit for human consumption, live or fresh, chilled

HS code 030791 covers a diverse range of molluscs, including those not elsewhere classified in heading 0307. These molluscs, whether in shell or not, are an important part of the global seafood industry, providing a valuable source of nutrition and culinary enjoyment around the world. As a key component of many national and regional cuisines, the trade and production of these molluscs plays a significant role in the broader food and agricultural economy.

Production process

The production of molluscs covered under HS code 030791 involves a range of techniques, depending on the specific species and the intended market. Many molluscs are harvested from natural marine or freshwater environments through fishing and aquaculture practices. Processing may include cleaning, shucking, freezing, or other preservation methods to prepare the molluscs for distribution and consumption.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of molluscs under HS code 030791 include the natural aquatic environments where they are harvested, as well as any equipment, vessels, and infrastructure needed for fishing, aquaculture, and processing operations. Skilled labor, transportation, and cold chain logistics are also important inputs to ensure the molluscs reach consumers in optimal condition.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030791 is fresh, chilled, or live molluscs, which can be consumed directly or used as inputs for further processing and value-addition. These molluscs may be sold to wholesalers, retailers, or food service providers, and may also be used as inputs for the production of other seafood products, such as 160521 Molluscs, prepared or preserved, 160529 Molluscs, prepared or preserved, n.e.c., or 230120 Flours, meals and pellets of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption.
