Grapes; fresh or dried
HS v2017 Code: 0806
About grapes; fresh or dried
HS code 0806 covers the classification of grapes, both fresh and dried. Grapes are a widely cultivated fruit crop with significant economic importance, particularly in the agricultural and food processing industries. As a major global commodity, the production and trade of grapes play a crucial role in the international trade landscape.
Production process
The production of grapes involves several key steps. Grapes are typically grown on vines, which are carefully pruned and trained to optimize fruit yield and quality. Harvesting is done manually or mechanically, depending on the scale of the operation. For dried grapes, the harvested grapes undergo a drying process, often through sun-drying or the use of specialized drying equipment.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for the grape industry include fertile agricultural land, suitable climate conditions, water resources for irrigation, and labor for cultivation and harvesting. Specialized equipment, such as pruning tools, harvesting machinery, and drying facilities, are also essential inputs for efficient grape production and processing.
Production outputs
The main outputs of HS code 0806 are fresh grapes and dried grapes, also known as raisins. These products are widely consumed in the food and beverage industries, with fresh grapes often used in the production of 2009 Fruit juices, 2204 Wines, and as a fresh fruit. Dried grapes, or raisins, are commonly used in baked goods, cereals, and as a snack food.
