2009.29.00.20 - Frozen 🖩

This HTS classification, 2009.29.00.20, specifically designates frozen grapefruit or pomelo juices. These are unfermented juices derived from grapefruit or pomelo, which may have sugar or other sweetening agents added. The crucial defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is that the juice is presented in a frozen state, typically as a concentrated pulp or ice.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2009.29.00.40, which covers other forms of grapefruit or pomelo juice. While both fall under the broader heading of "Other" grapefruit and pomelo juices, the presence of freezing is the key differentiator. Goods classified under 2009.29.00.40 would generally be in liquid, chilled, or shelf-stable forms, not preserved by freezing.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification criteria are solely focused on the fruit of origin (grapefruit or pomelo), the fact that it is juice, and its frozen presentation. This ensures that only products meeting these precise specifications are assigned to this code, facilitating accurate trade statistics and duty assessment.
