About aquatic invertebrates; jellyfish (rhopilema spp.), live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine, smoked, whether or not cooked before or during smoking

HS code 030830 covers the trade of aquatic invertebrates, specifically jellyfish of the Rhopilema species. This industry plays a significant role in the global seafood market, providing a unique and sought-after delicacy for consumers worldwide. Jellyfish are harvested and processed for their culinary and medicinal properties, contributing to the overall diversity and value of the aquatic products industry.

Production process

The production of jellyfish for commercial purposes involves a multi-step process. Fishermen use specialized nets to harvest the jellyfish from their natural habitats, often in coastal waters. The harvested jellyfish are then transported to processing facilities, where they undergo cleaning, trimming, and preparation for various preservation methods. Depending on the intended use, the jellyfish may be frozen, dried, salted, or smoked to extend their shelf life and maintain their quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the jellyfish industry include the raw material itself, which is the live, fresh jellyfish harvested from the wild. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized fishing equipment, such as nets and vessels, as well as processing facilities equipped with the necessary machinery and infrastructure to handle, clean, and preserve the jellyfish. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential for the various stages of production and transportation.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030830 is the processed jellyfish, which can be sold in various forms, including live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, or smoked. These jellyfish products are then consumed by 030901 Fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and 293499 (Heterocyclic compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, not elsewhere specified or included), among other industries that utilize aquatic invertebrates for culinary, medicinal, or industrial purposes.
