Molluscs; n.e.c. in heading 0307, whether in shell or not, live or fresh, chilled

HS v2022 Code: 030791

About molluscs; n.e.c. in heading 0307, whether in shell or not, live or fresh, chilled

HS code 030791 covers a diverse range of molluscs, including various species of clams, oysters, mussels, and other edible marine invertebrates. This industry plays a vital role in the global seafood supply, providing a nutritious and sustainable source of protein. Molluscs are widely consumed worldwide, making this a significant sector within the broader food and agriculture industry.

Production process

The production of molluscs covered under HS code 030791 typically involves aquaculture techniques, such as farming in coastal waters or inland bodies of water. This may include the use of submerged structures or floating platforms to cultivate the molluscs. Harvesting is often done by hand or with specialized equipment, depending on the species and the local environment.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of molluscs under HS code 030791 include the natural marine or freshwater environments, as well as various equipment and materials for aquaculture operations. This may include hatcheries, nursery facilities, feeding systems, and water treatment equipment. Additionally, labor, transportation, and processing facilities are essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030791 is the live or fresh, chilled molluscs themselves, which are then consumed or further processed. These molluscs may be used as ingredients in a variety of food products, such as 160521 Molluscs, prepared or preserved, 160529 Molluscs, prepared or preserved, n.e.c. in heading 1605, or 030799 Molluscs, n.e.c. in heading 0307, whether in shell or not, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine.
