HS v2022 Code: 843360

About machines; for cleaning, sorting or grading eggs, fruit or other agricultural produce

HS code 843360 covers a range of specialized machinery used in the agricultural and food processing industries. These machines play a crucial role in the post-harvest handling and preparation of various agricultural commodities, such as eggs, fruits, and other produce. Their efficient operation helps ensure the quality, safety, and marketability of these essential food items, making them an integral part of modern agricultural and food supply chains.

Production process

Machines classified under HS code 843360 typically utilize a combination of mechanical, electronic, and optical technologies to perform their functions. Common techniques employed in these machines include mechanical sorting and grading mechanisms, optical sensors for size and color detection, and pneumatic or hydraulic systems for gentle handling and transportation of the produce. The specific design and configuration of these machines can vary depending on the intended application and the unique characteristics of the agricultural commodities being processed.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 843360 machines requires a range of inputs, including specialized mechanical components, electronic sensors and control systems, as well as materials such as metals, plastics, and rubber for the construction of the machines. Additionally, these machines often rely on advanced software and programming to coordinate their various functions and ensure precise and efficient operation. The manufacturers of these machines may also require access to skilled labor, engineering expertise, and research and development capabilities to continuously innovate and improve their product offerings.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 843360 machines is the efficient and effective cleaning, sorting, and grading of agricultural produce, such as eggs, fruits, and vegetables. These machines help to ensure that the processed commodities meet the quality standards and specifications required by downstream industries, such as 040700 Eggs, bird's, in shell, fresh, preserved or cooked and 080000 Edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons. By improving the consistency and marketability of these agricultural products, HS code 843360 machines contribute to the overall efficiency and competitiveness of the food supply chain.
