2009.12.25.00 - Not concentrated and not made from a juice having a degree of concentration of 1.5 or more (as determined before correction to the nearest 0.5 degree)

This HTS classification pertains to orange juice that is neither frozen nor concentrated. The defining characteristic is its "not concentrated" state, meaning it has not undergone a process to remove water content. Furthermore, it specifies that the juice must not have been derived from a juice concentrate with a Brix value of 1.5 or more before any correction. This excludes juices that have had significant water removed and then reconstituted.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2009.12.45.00 ("Other"), which would encompass any orange juice falling under the broader "Not frozen, of a Brix value not exceeding 20" grouping but not meeting the specific criteria of this subcategory. Essentially, this code captures "fresh" or "ready-to-drink" orange juice within the defined Brix range, excluding those that have been concentrated at any stage of production.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for orange juice that meets the described physical attributes and processing history, distinguishing it from other forms of orange juice within the broader Chapter 20 headings.
