HS v2022 Code: 0506
About bones and horn-cores, unworked, defatted, simply prepared (but not cut to shape), treated with acid or degelatinised; powder and waste of these products
HS code 0506 covers a range of unworked, defatted, and simply prepared bone and horn-core products. These materials are essential inputs for various industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. The global trade in these products is significant, with countries importing and exporting them to meet the demands of their respective economies.
Production process
The production of the items covered under HS code 0506 typically involves a straightforward process. Bones and horn-cores are first collected, often as by-products from the meat and leather industries. These raw materials are then defatted, which removes any residual fat or tissue. In some cases, the bones and horn-cores may be treated with acid or degelatinised to further refine the products. Finally, the materials are processed into powder or waste forms, ready for use in various applications.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the production of HS code 0506 items are the raw bones and horn-cores, which are typically sourced from livestock and other animal processing facilities. Additionally, the production process may require specialized equipment for defatting, acid treatment, and the conversion of the materials into powder or waste forms. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the various processing steps.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 0506 are the unworked, defatted, and simply prepared bone and horn-core products, including powder and waste forms. These materials are used as inputs for a variety of industries, such as 2301 Flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption; greaves, 3101 Animal or vegetable fertilisers, whether or not mixed together or chemically treated; fertilisers produced by the mixing or chemical treatment of animal or vegetable products, and 3822 Diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, other than those of heading 3002 or 3006; certified reference materials.
