About fish; dried, whether or not salted but not smoked, other than edible fish offal, cod (gadus morhua, gadus ogac, gadus macrocephalus)

HS code 030551 covers the trade of dried fish, excluding smoked fish and edible fish offal. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a shelf-stable and nutritious protein source. Dried fish is an important commodity in many regions, particularly in developing countries where it serves as an affordable and accessible source of sustenance.

Production process

The production of dried fish involves several key steps. First, the fish are caught, typically using commercial fishing methods. The fish are then cleaned, gutted, and rinsed. Next, they are placed in a drying environment, which can be natural (sun-drying) or artificial (using dehydrators or kilns). The drying process removes the majority of the fish's moisture content, preserving the product and extending its shelf life.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of dried fish under HS code 030551 include the raw fish material, which is typically sourced from commercial fishing operations. Depending on the drying method, additional inputs may include drying equipment, such as dehydrators or kilns, as well as packaging materials to protect the dried fish during storage and transportation.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is dried fish, which can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient in various food products. The dried fish produced under HS code 030551 may be further processed or incorporated into dishes by 160420 Prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs or 160300 Extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates.
