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

HS code 080262 covers the import and export of fresh or dried, shelled macadamia nuts. Macadamia nuts are a highly valued and versatile tree nut, grown primarily in subtropical regions around the world. As a high-value agricultural product, the global trade in macadamia nuts plays an important role in the international food and beverage industry, contributing to economic development in producing countries.

Production process

Macadamia nuts are produced through a multi-stage process. First, macadamia trees are cultivated, with the nuts harvested when mature. The nuts are then processed, typically involving drying, cracking the hard shells, and sorting the kernels. Advanced processing may also include roasting, salting, or other value-added treatments before the nuts are packaged and distributed for sale.

Production inputs

Key inputs for the macadamia nut industry include the macadamia trees themselves, as well as land, water, and labor for cultivation and harvesting. Specialized machinery is used for drying, shelling, and processing the nuts. Packaging materials, such as bags or containers, are also essential inputs for preparing the nuts for market.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 080262 is shelled, edible macadamia nuts. These nuts are widely consumed as snacks and ingredients in a variety of food and beverage products, including confectionery, baked goods, and nut butters. The macadamia nut industry also generates byproducts, such as macadamia nut oil, which may be classified under other HS codes like 151590 Vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, nes, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified.
