2009.11.00 - Frozen

This HTS category, 2009.11.00, specifically covers *frozen orange juice*. This includes 100% pure orange juice that has been subjected to freezing temperatures for preservation and transport. It is crucial that the juice is derived solely from oranges and has not undergone fermentation or had spirit added. While other sweetening agents may be present, the defining characteristic of this classification is its frozen state.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 2009.12 covers *non-frozen orange juice with a Brix value not exceeding 20*, and 2009.19.00.00 encompasses *other orange juices* that do not fit the specified Brix range or frozen criteria. Therefore, the frozen state is the primary differentiator for 2009.11.00.

Further subdivisions within this frozen orange juice category are based on the packaging size of the containers. The subcategories 2009.11.00.20, 2009.11.00.40, and 2009.11.00.60 differentiate based on whether the juice is presented in containers holding less than 0.946 liters, between 0.946 liters and 3.785 liters, or more than 3.785 liters, respectively. This allows for more granular tracking and statistical reporting of different trade volumes.
