HS code 030441 covers the import and export of fresh or chilled salmon fillets. Salmon is a highly sought-after fish globally, prized for its distinctive flavor and nutritional benefits. The Pacific, Atlantic, and Danube salmon species included in this code are important commercial fish, supporting thriving fishing and aquaculture industries around the world. Trade in salmon fillets is a significant component of the broader 030400 Fish fillets and other fish meat industry.

Production process

Salmon fillets are typically produced by manually or mechanically filleting whole salmon. The fish are first caught, either through commercial fishing or aquaculture operations. They are then transported to processing facilities, where they are cleaned, trimmed, and filleted. The fillets may be skin-on or skin-off, depending on customer preferences. Advanced processing techniques, such as vacuum packing or modified atmosphere packaging, are often used to extend the shelf life of the fresh fillets.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of salmon fillets under HS code 030441 include live salmon, processing equipment (e.g., filleting machines, packaging machinery), and labor. Salmon are sourced either from wild-caught fisheries or salmon farms, with the latter becoming increasingly important as wild stocks decline. Other key inputs include ice, water, and packaging materials to preserve the freshness and quality of the fillets.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030441 is fresh or chilled salmon fillets. These fillets are often consumed directly by end-users or used as an ingredient in various seafood dishes and products. The salmon fillets may also be further processed, such as being smoked or canned, which would fall under different HS codes like 030541 Fish, smoked, including fillets and 160411 Prepared or preserved salmon, whole or in pieces.
