Fishing vessels, factory ships and other vessels; for processing or preserving fishery products
HS v2017 Code: 8902
About fishing vessels, factory ships and other vessels; for processing or preserving fishery products
hs code 8902 covers a vital segment of the global maritime industry - fishing vessels, factory ships, and other specialized vessels used for processing or preserving fishery products. This industry plays a crucial role in meeting the world's growing demand for seafood, a key source of protein and essential nutrients. These vessels enable efficient and sustainable harvesting, processing, and distribution of fish and other marine resources, contributing significantly to the global food supply chain and the broader economy.
Production process
Vessels classified under hs code 8902 are designed and constructed with specialized features to support various fishing and seafood processing operations. They are equipped with advanced technologies, such as navigation systems, fish-finding sonar, and on-board processing equipment, to enhance the efficiency and productivity of their operations. These vessels often have the capability to freeze, can, or otherwise preserve the catch, allowing for extended voyages and the delivery of high-quality seafood products to global markets.
Production inputs
The production of hs code 8902 vessels requires a range of inputs, including specialized steel or aluminum for the hull and superstructure, advanced propulsion systems, fishing and processing equipment, and various electronic and navigational systems. Additionally, these vessels require skilled labor, including naval architects, marine engineers, and experienced crew members, to design, build, and operate them effectively.
Production outputs
Vessels classified under hs code 8902 are the primary means of harvesting and processing seafood for global consumption. Their outputs include a wide variety of fresh, frozen, canned, or otherwise preserved fish and seafood products, which are then distributed to 1604 Prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs and 1605 Crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved industries, as well as directly to consumers through various retail and food service channels.
