2009.12.45.00 - Other

This HTS code, 2009.12.45.00, specifically designates "Other" orange juice that is not frozen and possesses a Brix value not exceeding 20. This classification encompasses various forms of unfermented, non-alcoholic orange juice that do not meet the criteria for other more specifically defined subcategories within the "Orange juice, not frozen, of a Brix value not exceeding 20" grouping. It serves as a residual category for eligible orange juices that are not concentrated and do not originate from a juice with a degree of concentration of 1.5 or more.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 2009.12.25.00. The sibling classification pertains to orange juice that is "Not concentrated and not made from a juice having a degree of concentration of 1.5 or more." Therefore, 2009.12.45.00 "Other" would apply to orange juices within the specified Brix range and non-frozen state that *are* either concentrated or are made from a juice having a degree of concentration of 1.5 or more, but still fall under the general "not frozen, of a Brix value not exceeding 20" umbrella.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 2009.12.45.00. The classification is definitive for the specified "Other" orange juice products that fit within the established parameters of being unfermented, not containing added spirit, not frozen, and having a Brix value not exceeding 20, and which do not qualify for more precise sibling classifications due to their concentration characteristics.
