2009.21.40.40 - Other

This HTS category, 2009.21.40.40, encompasses grapefruit and pomelo juices that have a Brix value not exceeding 20, and which are neither frozen nor specifically classified as another type of preparation. This classification is applicable to such juices when they are in a non-frozen liquid state and do not fall under more specific subheadings based on their preparation or state. The primary distinguishing factor for this category is its residual Brix value and its non-frozen form.

In contrast to the sibling category, 2009.21.40.20, which specifically covers frozen grapefruit and pomelo juices with a Brix value not exceeding 20, this category covers only the non-frozen liquid form. Therefore, any juice meeting the Brix criteria but presented in a frozen state would be classified under the sibling category. This distinction is crucial for accurately determining import duties and regulations based on the physical presentation of the product.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. All relevant grapefruit and pomelo juices with a Brix value not exceeding 20, that are not frozen, will fall under this designation. Classification under this code relies on verifying the Brix value and confirming the absence of a frozen state, ensuring proper application of trade regulations for these fruit juices.
