About offal, edible; of bovine animals, livers, frozen

HS code 020622 covers the import and export of frozen edible bovine livers, a significant component of the global offal trade. Offal, the internal organs and entrails of animals, has long been an important part of the meat industry, providing valuable sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The trade in bovine livers, in particular, is a key segment of this broader offal market, with applications ranging from culinary uses to pharmaceutical and industrial purposes.

Production process

The production of frozen bovine livers typically involves the slaughter of cattle, followed by the careful removal and cleaning of the liver. The livers are then quickly frozen, often using cryogenic or blast freezing techniques, to preserve their freshness and nutritional properties. This freezing process helps to extend the shelf life of the product and facilitate its transportation and storage.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 020622 items are live cattle, which are raised for their meat and offal. Specialized slaughtering and processing facilities, as well as freezing equipment, are also essential resources in this industry. Additionally, packaging materials, such as plastic bags or containers, are required to protect the frozen livers during distribution.

Production outputs

The main output of HS code 020622 is frozen bovine livers, which can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient in various food products. These livers may also be further processed into other offal-based items, such as 020629 Offal, edible; of bovine animals, frozen, n.e.c. in item no. 0206.10 or 020690 Offal, edible; of bovine animals, n.e.c. in item no. 0206.10 or 0206.21.
