About molluscs; n.e.c. in heading 0307, whether in shell or not, dried, salted, in brine, or smoked, cooked or not before or during the smoking process

HS code 030799 covers a diverse range of molluscs, including those not specifically mentioned in the previous headings of the 0307 classification. These molluscs can be in or out of their shells, and may be dried, salted, brined, or smoked, with or without prior cooking. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and other nutrients to consumers worldwide.

Production process

The production techniques for the molluscs covered under HS code 030799 can vary depending on the specific type of mollusk and the desired final product. In general, the process may involve harvesting the molluscs, cleaning and processing them, and then applying various preservation methods such as drying, salting, brining, or smoking. The specific steps and equipment used will depend on the scale of production and the target market.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of molluscs under HS code 030799 include the raw molluscs themselves, which can be sourced from various aquaculture or wild-caught sources. Additionally, producers may require equipment such as processing machinery, drying or smoking facilities, and packaging materials. Depending on the preservation method used, other inputs like salt, brine, or fuel for smoking may also be necessary.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 030799 is the preserved molluscs themselves, which can be consumed directly or used as ingredients in other food products. These molluscs may be sold to 160300 Caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs, 160420 Prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs, or 160530 Crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved, among other related industries.
