About dairy produce; milk and cream, concentrated, not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, other than in powder, granules or other solid forms

HS code 040291 covers the import and export of dairy products, specifically concentrated milk and cream that do not contain added sugar or other sweeteners. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing essential dairy ingredients for a wide range of food and beverage products. As a key component of the dairy industry, the trade of these concentrated dairy goods is an important economic activity, with significant implications for international trade and the broader agricultural sector.

Production process

The production of concentrated milk and cream covered under HS code 040291 typically involves a process of evaporation or reverse osmosis. Milk or cream is heated and the water content is reduced, resulting in a thicker, more concentrated product. This process helps to extend the shelf life of the dairy goods and facilitates their transportation and storage. The specific techniques used may vary depending on the scale of production and the desired characteristics of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of concentrated milk and cream under HS code 040291 include raw milk, as well as energy sources and equipment for the evaporation or reverse osmosis process. Dairy farms and processing facilities are the primary suppliers of the raw milk, while specialized machinery and infrastructure, such as evaporators and membrane filtration systems, are necessary for the concentration and packaging of the final product.

Production outputs

The concentrated milk and cream produced under HS code 040291 are typically used as ingredients in a variety of food and beverage products. These outputs may be consumed directly or further processed into other dairy items, such as 040210 Milk and cream, in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content, by weight, not exceeding 1.5% or 040221 Milk and cream, in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content, by weight, exceeding 1.5%.
