HS v2022 Code: 080261

About nuts, edible; macadamia, fresh or dried, in shell

HS code 080261 covers the trade of fresh or dried macadamia nuts in their shells. Macadamia nuts are a highly valued and nutritious tree nut, primarily grown in subtropical regions. As a high-value agricultural product, the macadamia nut industry plays an important role in the global food trade, contributing to the economies of major producing countries such as Australia, Hawaii, and South Africa.

Production process

Macadamia nuts are produced through a multi-stage process. After the macadamia trees are harvested, the nuts are collected and the outer husks are removed. The nuts are then dried, either naturally or using specialized drying equipment, to reduce the moisture content. Finally, the hard shells are cracked open, either manually or using mechanical equipment, to extract the edible kernel inside.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the macadamia nut industry include the macadamia trees, land and climate suitable for cultivation, labor for harvesting and processing, and equipment for drying, shelling, and packaging the nuts. Macadamia nut production also requires access to transportation infrastructure to facilitate the export of the nuts to global markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 080261 is fresh or dried macadamia nuts in their shells. These nuts are then further processed and consumed as a snack food, ingredient in baked goods and confections, or used in the production of macadamia nut oil. The macadamia nut industry's outputs may also be used as inputs for other HS codes, such as 151590 Vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, nes, refined or not, which covers the production of macadamia nut oil.
