About nuts, edible; n.e.c. in heading 0801 and 0802, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled

HS code 080299 covers a wide range of edible nuts that are not classified under headings 0801 and 0802, such as macadamia nuts, cashews, and pine nuts. These nuts are an important global commodity, with significant trade volumes and economic value. They are widely used in various food products, snacks, and as ingredients in the culinary industry. The production and trade of these specialty nuts play a crucial role in the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of nuts covered under HS code 080299 typically involves harvesting, drying, shelling, and processing. Depending on the specific nut variety, the harvesting process may involve manual or mechanical methods. Post-harvest, the nuts are often dried to reduce moisture content, which helps in storage and transportation. Shelling is another key step, where the hard outer shell is removed to access the edible kernel. Further processing, such as roasting, salting, or packaging, may be carried out to prepare the nuts for the consumer market.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nuts under HS code 080299 include the nut-bearing trees or plants, land for cultivation, water for irrigation, and labor for harvesting and processing. Specialized machinery, such as shelling equipment and drying facilities, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on transportation infrastructure and logistics to facilitate the movement of raw materials and finished products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 080299 is the edible nuts themselves, which are then consumed directly or used as ingredients in various food products. These nuts may be further processed and incorporated into 200819 Nuts, incl. mixtures, prepared or preserved, n.e.c. in heading 2008, 210690 Food preparations n.e.c., or 230650 Oil-cake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of vegetable fats or oils, other than those of heading 2304 or 2305.
