Animal products; of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of chapter 03, unfit for human consumption

HS code 051191 covers a range of animal products derived from fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates that are unfit for human consumption. These products play a crucial role in various industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. They serve as important raw materials and inputs for a diverse array of downstream applications, contributing significantly to the global economy.

The production of goods under HS code 051191 typically involves the collection, processing, and refinement of animal by-products from the seafood industry. This may include the extraction of oils, the production of fishmeal, and the processing of other non-edible components. The specific techniques employed can vary depending on the intended end-use of the products, but often involve a combination of mechanical, chemical, and biological processes to ensure the efficient and sustainable utilization of these resources.

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 051191 include raw materials such as 030110 Live fish, 030610 Crustaceans, 030710 Molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery for the collection, transportation, and processing of these materials are essential. Depending on the specific applications, various chemical reagents, energy sources, and skilled labor may also be required to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

The outputs of HS code 051191 are diverse and find applications in a wide range of industries. These products may include fish oils, fishmeal, and other processed animal materials used as ingredients in 230110 Flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal, unfit for human consumption; greaves, 230990 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included, and 350400 Peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed. The versatility of these animal-derived products makes them valuable inputs for various manufacturing processes and contributes to their importance in the global trade landscape.
