Animal products; of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of chapter 03, unfit for human consumption

HS code 051191 covers a range of animal products derived from fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates that are unfit for human consumption. These products play a crucial role in various industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. While not intended for direct human use, the materials encompassed by this code contribute significantly to the broader economy through their diverse applications.

The production of goods under HS code 051191 typically involves the collection, processing, and refinement of animal by-products from the seafood industry. This may include the extraction of oils, the rendering of fats, and the drying or powdering of materials for further use. The specific techniques employed can vary depending on the intended application, but often involve mechanical separation, chemical treatment, and specialized handling to ensure the safety and quality of the final products.

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 051191 include the raw animal materials, such as fish, crustacean, and mollusk waste, as well as various processing equipment and chemicals. Depending on the specific application, additional inputs may include energy sources, packaging materials, and specialized machinery for handling and refining the animal products.

The outputs of HS code 051191 are diverse and find applications in a wide range of industries. These products may be used as 230110 Animal products; of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of chapter 03, unfit for human consumption in animal feed, as 271000 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations n.e.c., containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils in the production of lubricants and fuels, or as 300190 Glands and other organs for organo-therapeutic uses, dried, whether or not powdered; extracts of glands or other organs or of their secretions for organo-therapeutic uses; heparin and its salts; other human or animal substances prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, not elsewhere specified or included in the pharmaceutical industry.
