About HS Code 080521

Major importing markets include the United States, European countries, and Canada, where mandarins are favored for their convenience and taste.

Logistics focus on maintaining freshness and preventing damage during transit, ensuring these delicate fruits reach consumers in optimal condition for fresh consumption.
