About offal, edible; of swine, (other than livers), frozen

HS code 020649 covers the import and export of frozen edible offal of swine, excluding livers. This category is an important part of the global meat and livestock industry, as it allows for the utilization of a wider range of animal by-products. The trade of these products contributes to the efficient and sustainable use of resources, reducing waste and maximizing the value derived from livestock production.

Production process

The production of frozen swine offal typically involves the slaughter and processing of pigs. After the primary meat cuts are removed, the remaining offal is cleaned, trimmed, and prepared for freezing. This may include processes like sorting, grading, and packaging the offal into appropriate portions or cuts. Specialized freezing techniques, such as blast freezing or cryogenic freezing, are often employed to preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of these products.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of frozen swine offal include live pigs, which are the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on processing equipment, such as slaughtering, cutting, and freezing machinery, as well as packaging materials to ensure the proper preservation and transportation of the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary for the various stages of production.
