What HS 0307.92 covers
This category encompasses a broad spectrum of frozen molluscs not specifically detailed elsewhere in HS 0307, covering species like various clams, snails, and other shellfish. Freezing is a crucial preservation method for extending shelf life and facilitating global distribution, allowing these products to reach markets far from their origin and ensuring year-round availability. Trade in these frozen molluscs supports both retail and food service sectors, providing convenience and accessibility. The international supply chain for these goods relies heavily on robust cold chain logistics, from harvesting and processing to transportation and storage. Key players in this trade include countries with significant fishing industries and those with high demand for diverse seafood. Importers often include large consumer markets like China, South Korea, and various EU countries, while exporters are typically nations with extensive coastlines and efficient freezing capabilities, such as Chile, Canada, and Vietnam.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
