About milk and cream; not concentrated, not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter
HS code 0401 covers the classification of milk and cream that are not concentrated or contain any added sugar or sweeteners. This industry is a crucial component of the global dairy supply chain, providing essential dairy products for consumption and further processing. As a fundamental agricultural commodity, milk and cream production plays a significant role in the broader economy, supporting farmers, dairy processors, and a wide range of downstream industries.
Production process
The production of milk and cream under HS code 0401 typically involves the milking of dairy cows, goats, or other livestock. The raw milk is then collected, cooled, and transported to processing facilities. At the processing stage, the milk may undergo pasteurization, homogenization, and other quality control measures to ensure food safety and consistency before being packaged and distributed.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of milk and cream under HS code 0401 include dairy livestock, such as cows, goats, or sheep, as well as the necessary feed, water, and veterinary care to maintain the health and productivity of the herd. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment for milking, cooling, and transportation, as well as processing facilities and packaging materials.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 0401 are fresh, unprocessed milk and cream. These products are then consumed directly or used as inputs for a wide range of other dairy-based 0402 Milk and cream, concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter and 0403 Buttermilk, curdled milk and cream, yogurt, kephir and other fermented or acidified milk and cream, whether or not concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter; cheese and curd products.
