About crustaceans; frozen, n.e.c. in item no. 0306.1, in shell or not, smoked, cooked or not before or during smoking; in shell, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water

HS code 030619 covers a wide range of frozen crustacean products, including those that have been smoked, cooked, or prepared in various ways. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and meeting the growing demand for convenient, ready-to-eat seafood products. The production and export of these crustacean items contribute to the economies of many coastal and fishing communities around the world.

Production process

The production of items under HS code 030619 typically involves several key steps. Crustaceans, such as shrimp, lobster, or crab, are first caught or harvested from the ocean or aquaculture facilities. They are then processed, which may include cleaning, peeling, deveining, and cooking or smoking. The prepared crustaceans are then frozen to preserve their freshness and quality, often using advanced freezing technologies to ensure a consistent product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of items under HS code 030619 include the raw crustacean materials, such as 030613 Shrimps and prawns, 030614 Crabs, and 030616 Cold-water shrimps and prawns. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized processing equipment, packaging materials, and energy sources to support the freezing, cooking, and smoking processes. Skilled labor, transportation infrastructure, and access to cold storage facilities are also crucial inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 030619 are various frozen, smoked, or cooked crustacean products. These items may be consumed directly by end-users or serve as inputs for other industries, such as 160520 Shrimps and prawns, prepared or preserved, 160530 Crustaceans, prepared or preserved, and 160540 Other prepared or preserved fish, including caviar and caviar substitutes. The versatility of these crustacean products allows them to be utilized in a wide range of culinary applications and food processing industries.
