About ivory, tortoise-shell, whalebone and whalebone hair, horns, antlers, hooves, nails, claws and beaks unworked or simply prepared, not cut to shape; waste and powder of these products
HS code 0507 covers a diverse range of unworked or simply prepared animal-derived materials, including ivory, tortoise-shell, whalebone, horns, antlers, hooves, nails, claws, and beaks. These raw materials are of significant economic importance, with applications in various industries such as traditional medicine, luxury goods, and handicrafts. The trade and processing of these products play a crucial role in the global economy, particularly in regions where these natural resources are abundant.
Production process
The production techniques for the materials covered under HS code 0507 are relatively simple, as they primarily involve the collection, cleaning, and basic preparation of the raw materials. In the case of ivory, for example, the tusks are harvested from elephants, then cleaned and trimmed to remove any impurities or irregularities. Similarly, horns and antlers are collected from various animals, and hooves, nails, claws, and beaks are gathered from slaughterhouses or other sources.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of the materials covered under HS code 0507 are the raw animal-derived materials themselves, which are typically sourced from regions where these resources are naturally abundant. Additionally, basic tools and equipment, such as knives, saws, and cleaning solutions, may be required for the initial processing and preparation of the materials.
Production outputs
The outputs of the industries covered under HS code 0507 are the unworked or simply prepared animal-derived materials, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These include the 4203 Apparel and clothing accessories of leather or composition leather industry, which may use ivory, tortoise-shell, or whalebone in the production of luxury goods, as well as the 9601 (Worked ivory, bone, tortoise-shell, horn, antlers, coral, mother-of-pearl and other animal carving material, and articles of these materials (including articles obtained by moulding)) industry, which focuses on the production of handicrafts and decorative items.
