About waters; mineral and aerated, including natural or artificial, (not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter nor flavoured)
HS code 220110 covers the import and export of mineral and aerated waters, including both natural and artificial varieties. This industry plays a vital role in the global beverage market, providing consumers with a diverse range of refreshing and healthy hydration options. As a key component of the broader 22 Beverages, spirits and vinegar industry, the mineral and aerated waters sector contributes significantly to international trade and economic activity.
Production process
The production of mineral and aerated waters involves several key steps. First, the source water, whether from natural springs or artificially treated, is carefully filtered and purified to ensure its quality and purity. Carbon dioxide is then infused into the water, creating the characteristic effervescence. Depending on the desired product, the water may also undergo additional processing, such as the addition of minerals or the adjustment of pH levels.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the mineral and aerated waters industry include the source water, which can be obtained from natural springs or treated through various purification methods. Carbon dioxide is a critical input, as it is used to create the carbonation that defines these products. Specialized equipment, such as filtration systems, carbonation tanks, and bottling machinery, are also essential for the production and packaging of mineral and aerated waters.
Production outputs
The primary output of the mineral and aerated waters industry is, of course, the finished products themselves, which are classified under HS code 220110. These waters are then consumed by a wide range of industries and end-users, including the 22 Beverages, spirits and vinegar sector, the 33 Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations industry, and individual consumers seeking refreshing and healthy hydration options.
