About fish; frozen, hake (merluccius spp., urophycis spp.), excluding fillets, fish meat of 0304, and edible fish offal of subheadings 0303.91 to 0303.99

HS code 030366 covers the trade of frozen hake (Merluccius spp., Urophycis spp.) fish, excluding fillets, fish meat, and edible fish offal. Hake is a commercially important whitefish species found in various regions around the world, and its frozen form is a significant component of the global seafood trade. This industry plays a crucial role in meeting the worldwide demand for affordable and accessible protein sources.

Production process

The production of frozen hake involves several key steps. First, the hake are caught using various fishing methods, such as trawling or longlining. The fish are then processed on board the vessels, where they are gutted, cleaned, and frozen using specialized equipment. The frozen hake are then packaged and transported to distribution centers or directly to consumers and 030499 other fish processing industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the frozen hake industry include fishing vessels, fishing gear, freezing equipment, and packaging materials. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of fishermen, processors, and logistics personnel to ensure the efficient and sustainable harvesting, processing, and distribution of the frozen hake.

Production outputs

The primary output of the frozen hake industry is, of course, the frozen hake itself. These frozen hake can be consumed directly by 030499 other fish processing industries or further processed into value-added products, such as fillets or fish sticks. The frozen hake may also be used as an ingredient in various food products, such as soups, stews, or ready-to-eat meals.
