About fruit, edible; mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), fresh or dried

HS code 080521 covers the import and export of fresh or dried mandarins, including tangerines and satsumas. This category of edible fruit is a significant part of the global citrus trade, with mandarins being one of the most widely cultivated and consumed citrus varieties worldwide. As a versatile and nutritious fruit, mandarins play an important role in the international food and beverage industry.

Production process

Mandarins are typically grown on small to medium-sized citrus trees. The fruit is harvested by hand or with the aid of mechanical harvesters, with care taken to avoid bruising or damaging the delicate skin. Post-harvest, the mandarins may undergo sorting, grading, and cleaning processes before being packaged for distribution. Depending on the intended market, the fruit may be shipped fresh or processed and dried for longer-term storage and transport.

Production inputs

The production of mandarins requires suitable growing conditions, including warm temperatures, adequate rainfall or irrigation, and well-drained soil. Growers may utilize fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural inputs to optimize yield and quality. Specialized harvesting and processing equipment, as well as packaging materials, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

Mandarins produced under HS code 080521 are primarily destined for the fresh fruit market, both for direct consumer consumption and as an ingredient in various food and beverage products. The fruit may also be processed and dried, expanding its potential applications and shelf life. Mandarin-based products may be further classified under other HS codes, such as 200799 Fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, otherwise prepared or preserved, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or spirit, not elsewhere specified or included.
