About fruit; pears, prepared or preserved in ways n.e.c. in heading no. 2007, whether or not containing added sugar, other sweetening matter or spirit

HS code 200840 covers the import and export of prepared or preserved pears, a versatile fruit with a wide range of culinary and industrial applications. Pears are a globally traded commodity, with significant production and consumption across both developed and developing economies. This code plays an important role in international trade, facilitating the movement of pear-based products between countries and supporting global food supply chains.

Production process

Pears destined for preservation or preparation are typically harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo a series of processing steps. These may include washing, peeling, coring, and cutting the fruit into desired shapes or sizes. The prepared pear pieces are then preserved through methods such as canning, bottling, or freezing, often with the addition of sugar, syrups, or other ingredients to enhance flavor and texture. Advanced processing techniques, such as aseptic packaging, help extend the shelf life of pear-based products.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 200840 items requires access to high-quality pear crops as the primary raw material. Growers and processors also rely on packaging materials like cans, jars, or flexible pouches, as well as sweeteners, preservatives, and other food-grade additives. Specialized machinery for washing, peeling, cutting, and filling the prepared pear products is also a key input for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 200840 are canned, jarred, or otherwise packaged pear products, which can be consumed directly as food items or used as ingredients in a variety of other food and beverage applications. These pear-based products may be further processed or incorporated into items classified under other HS codes, such as 200799 Jams, fruit jellies, marmalades, fruit or nut purée and fruit or nut pastes, obtained by cooking, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, 200980 (Fruit juices (including grape must) and vegetable juices, unfermented and not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter), or 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included.
