About fish; fresh or chilled, anchovies (engraulis spp.), excluding fillets, fish meat of 0304, and edible fish offal of subheadings 0302.91 to 0302.99

HS code 030242 covers the import and export of fresh or chilled anchovies (Engraulis spp.), excluding fillets, fish meat, and edible fish offal. Anchovies are a small, oily fish that are widely consumed globally, particularly in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. The anchovy industry plays a significant role in the international seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and contributing to the livelihoods of fishing communities around the world.

Production process

Anchovies are typically caught using small-scale fishing methods, such as purse seines, cast nets, and artisanal techniques. After being caught, the anchovies are sorted, cleaned, and chilled or frozen for distribution and consumption. Some producers may also engage in value-added processing, such as canning or salting, to extend the shelf life and diversify the product offerings.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the anchovy industry include fishing vessels, nets, and other fishing equipment, as well as storage and transportation infrastructure to ensure the freshness and quality of the catch. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of fishermen, processors, and logistics personnel to support the various stages of production and distribution.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030242 is fresh or chilled anchovies, which are consumed directly or used as an ingredient in various food products. The output of this industry may be further processed and traded under other HS codes, such as 030559 Fish, dried, salted or in brine; smoked fish, whether or not cooked before or during the smoking process; flours, meals and pellets of fish, fit for human consumption, 160416 Preparations and preserves of anchovies, and 160420 Preparations and preserves of fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs.
