About aquatic invertebrates; other than crustaceans, molluscs, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and jellyfish, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine, smoked, cooked or not before or during smoking, includes edible flours, meals, and pellets

HS code 030890 covers a diverse range of aquatic invertebrates, excluding crustaceans, molluscs, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and jellyfish. These invertebrates play a vital role in the global seafood industry, providing a valuable source of nutrition and contributing significantly to international trade and the broader economy.

Production process

The production techniques for the aquatic invertebrates covered under HS code 030890 vary depending on the specific species and their natural habitats. Many of these invertebrates are harvested from the wild, using methods such as diving, dredging, or trapping. In some cases, certain species may also be farmed or cultivated in controlled aquatic environments to meet the growing demand.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aquatic invertebrates under HS code 030890 include access to suitable aquatic environments, such as oceans, seas, or inland waterways. Specialized equipment, such as fishing vessels, diving gear, and processing facilities, are also essential. Additionally, labor, transportation, and storage infrastructure are crucial for the effective harvesting, processing, and distribution of these products.

Production outputs

The aquatic invertebrates covered under HS code 030890 are primarily consumed as seafood, either fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, or smoked. They may be used in a variety of culinary applications, from sushi and seafood dishes to soups and stews. The outputs from this industry can also be further processed into edible flours, meals, and pellets, which may be used as ingredients in other food products or as animal feed. The outputs from HS code 030890 may be consumed by a wide range of industries, including 030210 Fish, live, 030310 Fish, frozen, and 160520 Shrimps and prawns, prepared or preserved, among others.
