HS v2017 Code: 1210
About hop cones, fresh or dried, whether or not ground, powdered or in the form of pellets; lupulin
HS code 1210 covers the trade of hop cones, a crucial ingredient in the production of beer and other fermented beverages. Hops are an essential component that contribute bitterness, aroma, and stability to these popular drinks. As a major agricultural product, the global hop industry plays a significant role in the broader food and beverage sector, supporting farmers, processors, and manufacturers worldwide.
Production process
Hop cones are typically harvested by hand or machine from hop plants, which are a type of climbing vine. After harvesting, the cones are dried, often using specialized kilns, to reduce their moisture content. Depending on the intended use, the dried hop cones may then be ground, powdered, or processed into pellets to facilitate storage, transportation, and incorporation into the final products.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the hop industry include the hop plants themselves, which require specific climatic conditions to thrive. Farmers also rely on agricultural equipment, drying facilities, and processing machinery to harvest, dry, and prepare the hop cones for market. Additionally, the industry utilizes various packaging materials and transportation services to deliver the finished products to 2203 Beer made from malt, 2206 Other fermented beverages, and other related industries.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the hop industry are the dried, processed hop cones and lupulin, a powdery substance extracted from the cones that is rich in essential oils and resins. These products are primarily used in the production of beer, where they contribute to the distinctive bitterness, aroma, and stability of the final beverage. Hop-based products may also find applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries.
