About beer; made from malt
HS code 220300 covers the import and export of beer made from malt, a staple alcoholic beverage consumed globally. The beer industry is a significant contributor to the economy, generating employment, tax revenue, and supporting related industries such as agriculture, packaging, and logistics. As a widely traded commodity, the international trade of beer plays a crucial role in meeting consumer demand and facilitating cultural exchange.
Production process
The production of beer from malt involves several key steps. First, malted grains, typically barley, are milled and mixed with hot water to create a mash. The mash is then boiled with hops, which provide bitterness and aroma. The resulting wort is cooled and fermented using yeast, which converts the sugars into alcohol. Finally, the beer is filtered, carbonated, and packaged for distribution.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the beer industry include malted grains, hops, yeast, and water. Specialized brewing equipment, such as mash tuns, boiling kettles, and fermentation tanks, are also essential. Additionally, packaging materials like bottles, cans, and kegs are necessary to deliver the final product to consumers.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 220300 is beer, which is consumed both domestically and internationally.
