HS v2022 Code: 030614

About crustaceans; frozen, crabs, in shell or not, smoked, cooked or not before or during smoking; in shell, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water

HS code 030614 covers a significant segment of the global crustacean trade, encompassing frozen crabs that are either in the shell or not, as well as those that have been smoked, cooked, or both before or during the smoking process. This industry plays a vital role in the international food supply chain, providing a valuable source of protein and meeting the growing demand for seafood products worldwide.

Production process

The production of the crustaceans covered under HS code 030614 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the crabs are caught and harvested, either through traditional fishing methods or aquaculture. They are then processed, which may include cleaning, sorting, and grading. The crabs are then frozen, either in the shell or after being removed from the shell. Some crabs may also be smoked or cooked before or during the freezing process, adding additional flavor and preparation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the crustaceans covered under HS code 030614 include the raw crabs, which can be sourced from both wild-caught and farmed sources. Additionally, specialized equipment such as freezers, smokers, and boiling/steaming equipment are necessary for the processing and preservation of the crabs. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 030614 is frozen crabs, both in the shell and out of the shell, as well as smoked and cooked crabs. These products are then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 160510 Crustaceans, prepared or preserved, 160520 Molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved, and the broader food and beverage industry.
