HS v2022 Code: 030693

About crustaceans; crabs, smoked, cooked or not, whether in shell or not, whether or not cooked before or during smoking

HS code 030693 covers the import and export of crabs, a popular and widely consumed crustacean. Crabs are an important seafood commodity, with global trade and consumption playing a significant role in the broader food and agricultural economy. This code encompasses a range of crab products, including those that have been smoked, cooked, or processed in various ways, making it a versatile and widely applicable classification.

Production process

The production of crab products under HS code 030693 typically involves several key steps. Crabs are first harvested, either through commercial fishing or aquaculture operations. They are then processed, which may include cleaning, cooking, smoking, or other preparation methods, depending on the final product. Crab meat may be extracted from the shell, or the crabs may be sold whole, either fresh or frozen.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the crab industry under this HS code include the raw crustaceans, which are sourced from marine or freshwater environments. Specialized equipment, such as fishing vessels, processing machinery, and packaging materials, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on labor, transportation, and energy resources to support the various stages of production and distribution.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the crab industry covered by HS code 030693 are the various crab products, including whole cooked or smoked crabs, crab meat, and other crab-based preparations. These outputs may be consumed directly by end-users or used as inputs for other industries, such as 160510 Crustaceans, prepared or preserved or 160520 Molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved.
