About fruit, edible; apples, dried

HS code 081330 covers the classification of dried apples, a significant agricultural product with global trade and consumption. Apples are one of the most widely cultivated and consumed fruits worldwide, and their dried form offers a shelf-stable, convenient, and nutritious option for consumers. The dried apple industry plays an important role in the broader fruit and vegetable processing sector, contributing to food security and international trade.

Production process

The production of dried apples typically involves several key steps. Freshly harvested apples are first washed, peeled, and sliced or diced. The apple pieces are then subjected to a drying process, which can be done through various methods such as air-drying, solar-drying, or using commercial dehydrators. The drying process removes the majority of the fruit's moisture content, resulting in a shelf-stable dried product. Depending on the desired texture and flavor profile, the dried apples may undergo additional processing such as sulfuring or the addition of preservatives.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the dried apple industry include fresh apples, which are the main raw material. Other key inputs include water for washing, energy sources for drying, and packaging materials to protect the dried fruit. Specialized equipment such as peelers, slicers, and dehydrators are also essential for the production process. Additionally, labor, transportation, and storage facilities are important inputs that enable the efficient processing and distribution of dried apples.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 081330 is dried apples, which can be consumed as a snack, used as an ingredient in various food products, or incorporated into baked goods. Dried apples may also be further processed into other apple-based products, such as 200600 (Fruit, vegetables, nuts, fruit-peel and other parts of plants, preserved by sugar (drained, glacé or crystallized)) or 200799 Jams, fruit jellies, marmalades, fruit or nut purée and fruit or nut pastes, obtained by cooking, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter.
