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

HS code 080232 covers the import and export of fresh or dried, shelled walnuts. Walnuts are a popular and nutritious tree nut that are widely consumed around the world. As a major agricultural commodity, the global walnut industry plays a significant role in international trade and the broader food economy.

Production process

Walnuts are primarily produced through commercial walnut orchards. After the nuts are harvested, they undergo a series of processing steps, including drying, shelling, and sorting, to prepare them for distribution and sale. Advanced processing techniques may also involve pasteurization, roasting, or other value-added treatments to meet consumer preferences and industry standards.

Production inputs

The walnut production process requires several key inputs, including walnut trees, land for orchards, agricultural equipment for harvesting and processing, and labor for planting, maintenance, and processing operations. Walnut growers also rely on water resources, fertilizers, and pest control measures to ensure healthy and productive walnut crops.

Production outputs
