About fish; fresh or chilled, carp (as specified by the wco.), excluding fillets, fish meat of 0304, and edible fish offal of subheadings 0302.91 to 0302.99

HS code 030273 covers the import and export of fresh or chilled carp fish, excluding fillets, fish meat, and edible fish offal. Carp is a widely cultivated freshwater fish species that plays a significant role in the global food supply, particularly in Asia. As a versatile and affordable protein source, the trade of carp fish is an important component of the broader international seafood industry.

Production process

Carp are typically farmed in freshwater ponds, lakes, or rivers using aquaculture techniques. The fish are raised from fingerlings or juveniles, fed a diet of grains, vegetables, and other nutrient-rich feeds. Depending on the region, carp may be harvested using nets, traps, or other traditional methods. Post-harvest, the fish are sorted, cleaned, and prepared for distribution as fresh or chilled whole carp.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the carp fish industry include freshwater resources, such as ponds and lakes, as well as specialized feed and equipment for aquaculture operations. Farmers also require access to fingerlings or juvenile carp to stock their facilities. Additionally, the industry relies on transportation infrastructure and cold chain logistics to deliver the fresh or chilled carp to domestic and international markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030273 is fresh or chilled whole carp fish. These carp may be consumed directly or used as an input for other seafood products, such as 030499 (Fish fillets and other fish meat (whether or not minced), fresh, chilled or frozen), 160419 Prepared or preserved fish; fish meat, or 160520 Fish, prepared or preserved; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs.
