About flours, meal and pellets, of meat or meat offal, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption; greaves

HS code 2301 covers a range of products derived from animal and aquatic sources that are considered unfit for direct human consumption. These materials, which include flours, meals, and pellets, are primarily used as animal feed or in the production of other industrial goods. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, providing a means of utilizing byproducts and waste that would otherwise be discarded.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 2301 typically involves a process of drying, grinding, and pelletizing the raw materials. This may include meat and meat offal, fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates. The raw materials are first dried to reduce moisture content, then ground into a fine powder or meal. In some cases, the material is then pressed into pellets to facilitate storage and transportation.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry are the raw animal and aquatic materials, which are often sourced as byproducts or waste from other food processing operations. Additionally, the production process may require specialized machinery for drying, grinding, and pelletizing the materials. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the flours, meals, and pellets produced from the raw materials. These products are primarily used as animal feed, either directly or as an ingredient in mixed feed formulations. They may also be used in the production of fertilizers, as well as in certain industrial processes. Other 2302 Bran, sharps and other residues, whether or not in the form of pellets, derived from the sifting, milling or other working of cereals or of leguminous plants and 2308 Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and by-products, whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included may also be used in similar applications.
