About crustaceans; norway lobsters (nephrops norvegicus), smoked, cooked or not, whether in shell or not, whether or not cooked before or during smoking

HS code 030694 covers the import and export of smoked, cooked, or uncooked Norway lobsters (Nephrops norvegicus), a type of crustacean. Norway lobsters are a valuable seafood commodity, highly sought after in global markets for their delicate flavor and tender texture. This industry plays a significant role in the international trade of specialty seafood products, contributing to the broader economy through employment, revenue generation, and meeting consumer demand for high-quality crustaceans.

Production process

The production of Norway lobsters covered under this HS code involves several key steps. Lobsters are typically caught using specialized traps or nets, then processed either by cooking, smoking, or a combination of both. Cooking methods may include boiling, steaming, or grilling, while smoking can be done using traditional or industrial-scale techniques. The lobsters may be sold whole, in the shell, or with the shell removed, depending on customer preferences and market demands.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of Norway lobsters under HS code 030694 include the live lobsters themselves, which are sourced from fishing operations in the North Atlantic region. Additionally, producers may require specialized equipment such as traps, processing machinery, and smoking/cooking facilities. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel for heating, are also essential inputs for the various production steps.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the smoked, cooked, or uncooked Norway lobster product, which is then exported to global markets. These lobsters may be consumed directly as a luxury seafood item or used as an ingredient in various culinary dishes. Other industries that may consume the output of HS code 030694 include the 160520 Crustacean products and 160300 Extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans sectors.
