About aquatic invertebrates; other than crustaceans, molluscs, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and jellyfish, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine, smoked, cooked or not before or during smoking

HS code 030890 covers a diverse range of aquatic invertebrates, excluding crustaceans, molluscs, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and jellyfish. These invertebrates play a crucial role in marine ecosystems and are an important source of food and other products for human consumption. The global trade in these aquatic invertebrates is significant, with many countries engaging in the import and export of these commodities.

Production process

The production techniques for the aquatic invertebrates covered under HS code 030890 vary depending on the specific species and their natural habitats. Some may be harvested from the wild, while others may be farmed or cultivated. The harvesting and processing methods can include techniques such as dredging, diving, and various forms of aquaculture. The invertebrates may be sold live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, smoked, or cooked, depending on the end-use and consumer preferences.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aquatic invertebrates under HS code 030890 include the natural resources of the marine environment, such as suitable habitats and water quality. Depending on the production method, additional inputs may include specialized equipment for harvesting, transportation, and processing, as well as labor and energy resources. In the case of aquaculture, additional inputs may include feed, hatchery facilities, and other aquaculture-specific infrastructure.

Production outputs

The aquatic invertebrates covered under HS code 030890 are primarily used as food products, both for direct human consumption and as ingredients in various processed foods. They may also be used in the production of 030710 Molluscs, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine, 030810 Sea urchins, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine, and 030820 Sea cucumbers, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine, which are classified under different HS codes. Additionally, some aquatic invertebrates may have other industrial or pharmaceutical applications.
