HS code 021092 covers a diverse range of salted, brined, dried, or smoked meat and meat offal products derived from marine mammals, including whales, dolphins, porpoises, manatees, dugongs, seals, sea lions, and walruses.

Production process

The production of 021092 products typically involves a combination of traditional preservation methods, such as salting, brining, drying, and smoking. These techniques help to extend the shelf life of the meat and offal, making them suitable for storage and transportation. The specific processing steps may vary depending on the type of marine mammal and the final product desired, but generally involve the initial slaughter and butchering, followed by the application of the chosen preservation method.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the 021092 industry are the live marine mammals themselves, which are typically hunted or farmed in coastal regions. Additional inputs include salt, brine solutions, and specialized equipment for drying, smoking, and packaging the final products. Depending on the scale of production, the industry may also require access to transportation infrastructure, storage facilities, and labor to carry out the various processing steps.
