About fruit; pears, prepared or preserved in ways n.e.c. in heading no. 2007, whether or not containing added sugar, other sweetening matter or spirit
HS code 200840 covers the import and export of prepared or preserved pears, a versatile fruit with a wide range of culinary and industrial applications. Pears are a globally traded commodity, with significant production and consumption across both developed and developing economies. This code plays an important role in international trade, facilitating the movement of pear-based products between countries and supporting global food security and supply chain resilience.
Production process
Pears destined for preservation or preparation are typically harvested at optimal ripeness, then washed, peeled, and cored as necessary. They may be canned, jarred, or frozen, often in syrup or other preservative solutions. Some pear products also undergo additional processing such as dicing, puréeing, or the addition of spices and flavorings. Specialized equipment like canning lines, freezers, and packaging machinery are essential for large-scale commercial production.
Production inputs
The primary input for this industry is, of course, fresh pears. Producers source pears from domestic or international orchards, often utilizing established supply chain relationships. Other key inputs include canning or jarring materials (such as glass jars, metal lids, and labels), preservative solutions (sugar, syrups, etc.), and energy sources to power production facilities. Specialized processing equipment, from washing and peeling machines to high-capacity canning lines, are also necessary capital investments.
Production outputs
The main outputs of this industry are canned, jarred, or frozen pear products, which can be consumed directly as food items or incorporated into a wide range of other food and beverage products. These pear-based outputs may be classified under other HS codes, such as 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, 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, or 200819 Fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, otherwise prepared or preserved, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or spirit, n.e.c.. The preserved pear products may also be used as ingredients in the production of other food items.
