About crustaceans; frozen, rock lobsters and other sea crawfish (palinurus spp., panulirus spp., jasus spp.), in shell or not, smoked, cooked or not before or during smoking; in shell, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water

HS code 030611 covers the import and export of frozen rock lobsters and other sea crawfish, which are a highly valuable crustacean commodity in the global seafood trade. This industry plays a significant role in the broader economy, providing a source of nutrition, employment, and revenue for many coastal regions around the world.

Production process

The production of frozen rock lobsters and sea crawfish typically involves catching the live animals, processing them by removing the shells (if desired), and then freezing them to preserve freshness and quality. Some products may also be smoked or cooked prior to freezing, depending on the specific requirements of the target market.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include fishing vessels, equipment for catching and processing the crustaceans, and cold storage facilities for freezing and transportation. Additionally, the industry relies on a steady supply of healthy rock lobster and sea crawfish populations, which are influenced by factors such as environmental conditions and sustainable fishing practices.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is frozen, cooked, or smoked rock lobsters and sea crawfish, which are then exported to various markets around the world. These products may be consumed directly or used as inputs for other food processing industries, such as 160520 Crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved, 030619 Crustaceans, frozen, other than rock lobsters and other sea crawfish, or 030621 (Crustaceans, not frozen, rock lobsters and other sea crawfish (Palinurus spp., Panulirus spp., Jasus spp.)), depending on the specific requirements of the end-user.
