HS v2022 Code: 210220

About yeasts; inactive, other single-cell micro-organisms, dead

HS code 210220 covers the trade of inactive yeasts and other dead single-cell microorganisms. These products are widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture, due to their unique properties and applications. As a key component in many production processes, the trade of these microbial products plays a significant role in the global economy.

Production process

Inactive yeasts and other dead single-cell microorganisms are typically produced through a multi-step fermentation process. This involves cultivating the desired microorganisms in a controlled environment, followed by harvesting, drying, and processing the biomass to create the final product. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the intended application and the type of microorganism being produced.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 210220 items requires several key inputs, including a suitable growth medium for the microorganisms, fermentation equipment, and drying or processing machinery. Depending on the application, the growth medium may consist of various nutrients, such as sugars, minerals, and vitamins, to support the growth and development of the microorganisms. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as bioreactors and centrifuges, is often used to optimize the fermentation and separation processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 210220 is inactive yeasts and other dead single-cell microorganisms, which are used in a wide range of industries. These products may be consumed by manufacturers of 210310 Flours, meals and pellets of meat or meat offal; unfit for human consumption or 210390 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included, as well as 300490 Medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale, not elsewhere specified or included and 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included.
