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

HS code 080212 covers the import and export of fresh or dried, shelled almonds. Almonds are a highly versatile and nutritious tree nut that are widely consumed around the world. As a major agricultural commodity, the almond industry plays a significant role in the global food and beverage sector, contributing to both domestic and international trade.

Production process

Almond production involves several key steps. Almonds are grown on almond trees, which are typically harvested by shaking the trees to release the nuts. The harvested almonds are then hulled and dried to remove the outer shell. Finally, the almonds are sorted, graded, and packaged for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The almond industry relies on several key inputs, including fertile agricultural land, water for irrigation, and specialized machinery for harvesting and processing. Almond trees also require a temperate climate and specific soil conditions to thrive. Additionally, the industry utilizes labor for planting, tending, and harvesting the almond crop.
