About dairy produce; milk and cream, concentrated, not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content exceeding 1.5% (by weight)

HS code 040221 covers a crucial segment of the dairy industry, encompassing concentrated milk and cream products with a fat content exceeding 1.5% by weight. These high-fat dairy goods play a vital role in the global food supply chain, serving as essential ingredients for a wide range of food and beverage products. The production and trade of these specialized dairy items are of significant economic importance, contributing to the overall growth and stability of the agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of dairy products under HS code 040221 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw milk is collected from dairy farms and transported to processing facilities. The milk is then subjected to pasteurization and homogenization to ensure safety and consistency. Next, the milk is concentrated through evaporation or membrane filtration, removing a portion of the water content. The concentrated milk is then dried into a powder or granular form, preserving its nutritional properties and extending its shelf life.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 040221 dairy products include raw milk, which serves as the primary ingredient. Additionally, specialized equipment such as evaporators, spray dryers, and packaging machinery are essential for the concentration and drying processes. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities. Finally, quality control measures, including laboratory testing and packaging materials, are crucial inputs to ensure the safety and integrity of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 040221 is concentrated milk and cream in powder, granular, or other solid forms, with a fat content exceeding 1.5% by weight.
