About nuts, edible; brazil nuts, fresh or dried, shelled

HS code 080122 covers the import and export of fresh or dried, shelled Brazil nuts. Brazil nuts are a highly nutritious tree nut that are a significant agricultural product and export commodity for several South American countries, particularly Brazil. As a versatile ingredient, Brazil nuts are used in a variety of food products and have a wide range of industrial applications, making them an important component of the global food and agricultural trade.

Production process

Brazil nuts are harvested from the Brazil nut tree, which is native to the Amazon rainforest. The nuts grow in large, heavy pods that fall from the trees during the rainy season. After harvesting, the pods are cracked open and the individual nuts are removed, dried, and prepared for sale. Shelling the nuts is a labor-intensive process that is often done manually. Advanced processing techniques may also include roasting, salting, or other value-added treatments prior to export.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the Brazil nut industry are the Brazil nut trees themselves, which require a specific tropical climate to thrive. Harvesting the nuts also requires basic tools and equipment, as well as a reliable workforce to gather and process the nuts. Drying, storage, and transportation infrastructure are also important inputs to facilitate the export of Brazil nuts to global markets.

Production outputs

Brazil nuts produced under HS code 080122 are primarily consumed as a snack food or used as an ingredient in a variety of food products, including baked goods, confections, and nut butters. The nuts may also be used in the production of oils, cosmetics, and other industrial applications.
