HS v2022 Code: 030760

About molluscs; snails, other than sea snails, whether in shell or not, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, in brine, or smoked, cooked or not before or during the smoking process

HS code 030760 covers a diverse range of molluscs, including snails (other than sea snails), which are an important part of the global food industry. These products are traded internationally in various forms, including live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, in brine, or smoked. The molluscs industry plays a significant role in the global economy, providing a valuable source of protein and contributing to food security worldwide.

Production process

The production of molluscs covered under HS code 030760 typically involves several key steps. Harvesting is often done manually or with specialized equipment, depending on the species and habitat. Post-harvest handling, such as cleaning, grading, and packaging, is crucial to maintain product quality. Depending on the desired form, molluscs may undergo further processing, including freezing, drying, or smoking.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the molluscs industry under HS code 030760 include the natural habitats where these species thrive, such as coastal areas, lakes, and rivers. Specialized equipment for harvesting, processing, and packaging is also essential. Additionally, labor, energy, and transportation resources are necessary to support the various stages of production and distribution.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the molluscs industry covered by HS code 030760 are the various forms of molluscs, including live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, in brine, or smoked. These products are consumed directly as food or used as inputs for other industries, such as 160520 Prepared or preserved shrimps and prawns and 160530 Crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved.
