About molluscs; n.e.c. in heading 0307, 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 030799 covers a diverse range of molluscs, including those that are not specifically mentioned in other headings within the 0307 classification. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and other nutrients for consumers worldwide. Molluscs covered under this code are commonly used in a variety of culinary applications, from traditional dishes to modern cuisine, making them an important component of the broader food and beverage industry.

Production process

Molluscs classified under HS code 030799 can be produced through various methods, including wild harvesting, aquaculture, and processing of dried, salted, brined, or smoked products. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the type of mollusc and the desired final product. For example, some molluscs may be harvested directly from the wild, while others are farmed in controlled aquatic environments. Processing methods, such as drying, salting, brining, or smoking, are often used to preserve the molluscs and extend their shelf life.

Production inputs

The production of molluscs under HS code 030799 requires a range of inputs, including access to suitable aquatic environments, whether natural or artificial. Depending on the specific type of mollusc, other key inputs may include fishing or aquaculture equipment, processing facilities, and labor. Additionally, the industry may rely on various support services, such as transportation, packaging, and distribution, to bring the final products to market.

Production outputs

Molluscs classified under HS code 030799 are primarily consumed as food products, either directly or as ingredients in various dishes. The outputs of this industry may be used in 030210 Fish, fresh or chilled, 160300 Extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, and 160420 Prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs, among other related food and beverage codes.
