About milk and cream; concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

HS code 0402 covers a vital segment of the dairy industry, encompassing milk and cream products that have been concentrated or contain added sugar or other sweetening agents. These products play a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing essential nutrients and versatile ingredients for a wide range of food and beverage applications. The 0402 industry is a significant contributor to the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, with its outputs being consumed by a diverse range of downstream industries.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 0402 typically involves several key steps. First, raw milk is collected from dairy farms and transported to processing facilities. The milk is then subjected to various treatments, such as pasteurization, homogenization, and concentration, to remove water content and increase the solids concentration. Depending on the specific product, sweeteners or other additives may be blended into the concentrated milk or cream. Finally, the processed dairy products are packaged and prepared for distribution to domestic and international markets.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 0402 industry include raw milk, which is the primary raw material. Dairy farms and livestock producers are the key suppliers of this essential input. Additionally, the industry relies on various processing equipment, such as evaporators, homogenizers, and packaging machinery, as well as energy sources, water, and chemical additives (e.g., stabilizers, emulsifiers) to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

The outputs of the 0402 industry encompass a diverse range of concentrated milk and cream products, including 0401 Milk and cream, not concentrated nor containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, 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 or flavored or containing added fruit, nuts or cocoa, and 1901 Malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, not containing cocoa or containing less than 40% by weight of cocoa calculated on a totally defatted basis, not elsewhere specified or included; food preparations of goods of headings 0401 to 0404, not containing cocoa or containing less than 5% by weight of cocoa calculated on a totally defatted basis, not elsewhere specified or included.
