About nuts, edible; macadamia, fresh or dried, shelled
HS code 080262 covers the import and export of fresh or dried, shelled macadamia nuts. Macadamia nuts are a high-value tree nut that are widely consumed around the world, particularly in Asia and North America. The macadamia nut industry is an important agricultural sector, providing income for farmers and contributing to the broader food and beverage economy.
Production process
Macadamia nuts are produced by harvesting the nuts from macadamia trees, which are native to Australia. The nuts are then dried, shelled, and processed for sale. Careful handling and processing is required to maintain the high quality and flavor of macadamia nuts. Macadamia orchards must also be properly maintained to ensure consistent yields.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the macadamia nut industry include macadamia trees, land for orchards, labor for harvesting and processing, and equipment such as drying and shelling machinery. Macadamia trees require a warm, subtropical climate to thrive, limiting production to certain regions. Significant investment is also needed to establish new macadamia orchards.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 080262 is fresh or dried, shelled macadamia nuts. These nuts are widely used in a variety of food products, including baked goods, confectionery, and snack foods. Macadamia nuts may also be further processed into macadamia nut oil, which has applications in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Macadamia nut products are often consumed alongside other tree nuts, such as 080211 Nuts, edible; almonds, in shell, 080221 Nuts, edible; almonds, shelled, and 080231 Nuts, edible; walnuts, in shell.
