HS Code:
The Guava and Mango category, classified under HS Code 080450, includes fresh and dried guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens. These tropical fruits are significant in global agricultural trade due to their high demand in both fresh and processed forms. They are cultivated predominantly in tropical and subtropical regions, with major production centered in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. The trade of these fruits is influenced by seasonal availability, climatic conditions, and consumer preferences for exotic fruits in non-producing regions such as Europe and North America.
