About meat and edible offal; of ducks, not cut in pieces, frozen

HS code 020742 covers the trade of frozen duck meat and offal, which is an important component of the global poultry industry.

Production process

The production of frozen duck meat and offal typically involves several key steps. Ducks are first raised on specialized farms, where they are fed a balanced diet and cared for to ensure optimal health and growth. Once the ducks reach the appropriate size and maturity, they are humanely slaughtered and processed. The carcasses are then carefully inspected, sorted, and prepared for freezing. This process often includes cleaning, trimming, and packaging the meat and offal to preserve freshness and quality. The frozen products are then stored and transported to meet the global demand for duck-based proteins.

The industry also depends on a reliable cold chain infrastructure, including refrigerated storage and transportation, to ensure the products reach consumers in optimal condition.
