About machinery; industrial, for the preparation of fruits, nuts or vegetables

hs code 843860 covers a range of industrial machinery used in the processing and preparation of fruits, nuts, and vegetables. This equipment plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, enabling the efficient and large-scale transformation of raw agricultural products into consumer-ready goods. The machinery covered under this code is essential for meeting the growing demand for processed and packaged fruits, vegetables, and nuts across both domestic and international markets.

Production process

Machinery classified under hs code 843860 typically includes equipment such as peelers, slicers, dicers, shredders, and grinders. These machines utilize a variety of mechanical processes to prepare the raw materials, including cutting, shredding, and pulping. Advanced models may also incorporate automated feeding systems, precise controls, and high-speed operation to maximize throughput and efficiency.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include the raw agricultural products (fruits, nuts, and vegetables), as well as the necessary power sources (electricity or fuel), and specialized components like blades, motors, and control systems. Manufacturers of this equipment also rely on a range of materials, such as metals, plastics, and electronics, to construct the machinery.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the processed and prepared fruits, nuts, and vegetables that are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. This includes 200710 Jams, fruit jellies, marmalades, purees and pastes of fruits, 200911 Orange juice, unfermented and not containing added spirit, and 200819 Nuts, including mixtures, prepared or preserved, among others.
