About fruit, edible; clementines, fresh or dried

HS code 080522 covers the import and export of fresh or dried clementines, a type of small, sweet citrus fruit. Clementines are a popular and widely traded commodity, valued for their delicate flavor, easy peelability, and seedless nature. As a member of the mandarin orange family, clementines are an important part of the global fruit trade, with significant production and consumption across many regions.

Production process

Clementines are typically grown in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. The fruit is harvested by hand, often in multiple passes to ensure optimal ripeness. After harvesting, clementines may be washed, graded, and packaged for distribution. For dried clementines, the fruit is subjected to a drying process, either naturally through sun-drying or using mechanical dehydrators, to remove moisture and extend the shelf life.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the clementine industry include the land, climate, and growing conditions suitable for cultivating the fruit. Growers also require access to water for irrigation, as well as agricultural equipment and labor for planting, tending, and harvesting the crop. Packaging materials, such as boxes or bags, are also necessary for the distribution and sale of fresh or dried clementines.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 080522 is fresh or dried clementines, which are consumed as a snack or used in a variety of food products. Clementines may be further processed into juices, jams, or other value-added items.
