About aquatic invertebrates; sea urchins (strongylocentrotus spp., paracentrotus lividus, loxechinus albus, echinus esculentus), dried, salted or in brine, smoked, whether or not cooked before or during smoking process

HS code 030829 covers a range of aquatic invertebrates, primarily sea urchins, that have been dried, salted, brined, or smoked. These products play a significant role in the global seafood industry, catering to diverse culinary preferences and providing a valuable source of nutrition. As a key component of international trade, this classification code is essential for facilitating the movement of these specialized marine products across borders.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 030829 typically involves several key steps. Sea urchins and other aquatic invertebrates are first harvested from their natural habitats, often through manual collection or specialized fishing methods. The harvested specimens are then processed, which may include cleaning, grading, and preparing them for preservation. Drying, salting, brining, and smoking are common techniques used to extend the shelf life of these delicate marine products, ensuring their safe transport and storage.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 030829 include the raw aquatic invertebrates, such as 030821 Sea urchins, as well as various preservative agents like salt, brine, and smoke. Specialized equipment for harvesting, processing, and packaging the final products is also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to handle the intricate handling and preparation of these marine delicacies.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 030829 are the preserved and processed aquatic invertebrates, primarily sea urchins, that are ready for consumption or further processing. These products may be consumed directly as a delicacy or incorporated into a variety of dishes and culinary preparations. The outputs of this industry may also serve as inputs for other related HS codes, such as 160559 Molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved, where the processed sea urchins and other invertebrates may be used as ingredients.
