2009.19.00.00 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS 2009.19.00.00, encompasses fruit or nut juices and vegetable juices that are unfermented and do not contain added spirit. This includes juices that may have had sugar or other sweetening matter added. The key is that these are natural juices intended for consumption, not processed in a way that alters their fundamental nature through fermentation or the addition of alcohol.

This classification is specifically for "Other" fruit or vegetable juices not otherwise specified within the Chapter 20.09. It distinguishes itself from the preceding categories by excluding frozen juices (2009.11.00) and not frozen juices with a specific Brix value not exceeding 20 (2009.12). Therefore, HTS 2009.19.00.00 would apply to all other unfermented, non-spirit-containing fruit, nut, or vegetable juices that do not meet the criteria for frozen or the specific Brix range mentioned in the sibling categories. Examples include chilled or ambient temperature single-strength juices from fruits like apples, pineapples, or grapes, as well as vegetable juices such as tomato or carrot juice, provided they meet the general requirements of this heading.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Classification into this code depends on the precise characteristics of the juice, particularly its physical state (frozen or not), its Brix value, and the absence of fermentation or added spirit, in conjunction with its exclusion from more specific subheadings.
