About dairy produce; milk and cream, concentrated, not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, other than in powder, granules or other solid forms

HS code 040291 covers the import and export of dairy products, specifically concentrated milk and cream that do not contain added sugar or other sweeteners. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing essential dairy ingredients for a wide range of food and beverage products. As a key component of the dairy industry, the trade of these concentrated dairy goods is an important economic activity, with significant implications for international trade and agricultural markets.

Production process

The production of concentrated milk and cream covered under HS code 040291 typically involves the evaporation or condensation of raw milk to remove a portion of the water content. This process results in a thicker, more concentrated dairy product that is easier to transport and store. Specialized equipment, such as evaporators and homogenizers, are used to carefully control the temperature and pressure during this concentration process, ensuring the final product retains its desired properties and nutritional value.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of concentrated milk and cream under HS code 040291 are raw milk, which is the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on various processing equipment, such as evaporators, homogenizers, and storage tanks. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities and maintain the appropriate temperature and pressure conditions during the concentration process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 040291 is concentrated milk and cream, which can be further processed or used as an ingredient in a wide range of food and beverage products. These concentrated dairy goods may be consumed directly or used as inputs for the production of 040221 Milk and cream, in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content, by weight, exceeding 1.5% or 040229 Milk and cream, in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content, by weight, not exceeding 1.5%.
