About food preparations; pasta (excluding stuffed), cooked or otherwise prepared

HS code 190230 covers a wide range of food preparations, primarily focused on pasta products that have been cooked or otherwise prepared. This industry plays a significant role in the global food supply chain, providing convenient and versatile ingredients for a variety of dishes. Pasta is a staple food in many cultures, making this industry an important contributor to the broader food and beverage sector.

Production process

The production of pasta and other food preparations under HS code 190230 typically involves a series of steps. First, the raw materials, such as wheat flour, water, and any additional ingredients, are mixed and kneaded to form a dough. The dough is then extruded or rolled into the desired shape, such as spaghetti, penne, or macaroni. The shaped pasta is then cooked, either by boiling or steaming, and may be further processed, such as by drying or freezing, to create the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of food preparations under HS code 190230 include wheat flour, water, and other ingredients such as eggs, herbs, and spices. Specialized equipment, such as pasta extruders, drying racks, and packaging machinery, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 190230 are various types of cooked or prepared pasta products, including spaghetti, macaroni, and other pasta shapes. These pasta products can be consumed directly or used as ingredients in a wide range of dishes, such as 190211 Pasta, uncooked, not stuffed or otherwise prepared, 190219 Pasta, uncooked, stuffed, whether or not cooked or otherwise prepared, and 190240 Pasta, cooked; stuffed, whether or not otherwise prepared. The pasta products may also be used in the production of 190220 (Pasta, prepared, and stuffed (whether or not cooked or otherwise prepared)), which is another related HS code.
