About crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved

HS code 1605 covers a diverse range of prepared or preserved crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply, providing nutritious and versatile seafood products to consumers worldwide. As an important component of the broader 03 Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates industry, the 1605 segment contributes significantly to international trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of 1605 items typically involves a range of processing techniques, such as canning, freezing, drying, or smoking. These methods help preserve the freshness, flavor, and nutritional value of the seafood, making it shelf-stable and convenient for consumers. Key steps may include harvesting, cleaning, cooking, packaging, and in some cases, further processing like breading or flavoring.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 1605 industry include a steady supply of raw crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates, which are typically sourced from commercial fishing or aquaculture operations. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized processing equipment, packaging materials, and various ingredients or seasonings to enhance the final products.

Production outputs

The outputs of the 1605 industry encompass a wide range of prepared or preserved seafood items, such as canned crab, shrimp, lobster, and other shellfish, as well as smoked, dried, or pickled aquatic invertebrates. These products are often consumed directly by households, but they may also serve as inputs for other industries, such as 16 Preparations of meat, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates or 21 Miscellaneous edible preparations.
