HS v2017 Code: 0506

About bones and horn-cores, unworked, defatted, simply prepared (but not cut to shape), treated with acid or degelatinised; powder and waste of these products

HS code 0506 covers a range of unworked, defatted, and simply prepared bone and horn-core products, as well as their associated powders and waste. This industry plays a vital role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors, providing essential raw materials for a variety of downstream applications, from the production of fertilizers to the creation of specialized industrial products.

Production process

The main production techniques for HS code 0506 involve the collection, cleaning, and preparation of bones and horn-cores. This typically includes processes such as defatting, acid treatment, and degelatinization, which help to remove impurities and prepare the materials for further use. The resulting products may be left in their unworked state or undergo minimal processing, such as grinding into powders.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are the raw bones and horn-cores, which are typically sourced from livestock and other animal processing operations. Additional inputs may include chemicals and equipment used in the defatting, acid treatment, and degelatinization processes. The industry also relies on efficient transportation and logistics to collect and distribute the materials to various end-users.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 0506 include unworked, defatted, and simply prepared bones and horn-cores, as well as their associated powders and waste products. These materials are often used as inputs for the production of 3101 Fertilizers, 3823 Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining, and 9508 Bone, horn, ivory, hooves, claws, coral, and similar materials, unworked or simply prepared but not cut to shape, among other applications.
