About dairy produce; milk and cream, not concentrated, not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, of a fat content, by weight, exceeding 6% but not exceeding 10%

HS code 040140 covers a specific category of dairy products - milk and cream with a fat content between 6% and 10% by weight. This segment of the dairy industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing essential nutrients and ingredients for a wide range of food and beverage products. As consumer demand for high-quality dairy products continues to grow, the 040140 classification has become an increasingly important part of international trade and commerce.

Production process

The production of milk and cream under HS code 040140 involves several key steps. First, dairy cows are carefully selected and fed a balanced diet to ensure the desired fat content in their milk. The milk is then collected, chilled, and transported to processing facilities. At the processing stage, the milk undergoes standardization, homogenization, and pasteurization to ensure food safety and consistent quality. Finally, the milk or cream is packaged and prepared for distribution to domestic and international markets.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 040140 dairy products include dairy cows, animal feed, processing equipment (such as separators, homogenizers, and pasteurizers), and packaging materials. Dairy farmers and processors also rely on a skilled workforce, access to clean water, and a reliable transportation network to move the products from farm to market. Additionally, compliance with strict food safety regulations and industry standards is essential for this sector.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 040140 is high-fat milk and cream, which can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient in a wide range of food and beverage products. These dairy products may be further processed into other 040500 Dairy produce; butter, other fats and oils derived from milk, dairy spreads, 040600 Dairy produce; cheese and curd, or 040700 Dairy produce; eggs, not in shell, and egg yolks, fresh, dried, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water, moulded, frozen or otherwise preserved, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter. The 040140 classification is an important input for the broader dairy industry and contributes to the production of a diverse range of dairy-based foods and beverages.
