2009.29.00.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 2009.29.00.40, covers "Other" juices derived from grapefruit or pomelo that are neither fermented nor contain added spirit. This category is reserved for liquid preparations of grapefruit or pomelo that do not fall under specific prior headings within the 2009.29.00 range. The defining characteristic is the absence of fermentation and added spirit, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 20, which deals with preparations of fruits and vegetables.

This specific heading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 2009.29.00.20, which exclusively covers frozen grapefruit or pomelo juices. Therefore, 2009.29.00.40 is intended for grapefruit or pomelo juices that are presented in a non-frozen state. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification, as the physical state of the product directly impacts its tariff treatment.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2009.29.00.40. Consequently, any grapefruit or pomelo juice that is unfermented, without added spirit, and not frozen will be classified here. This includes chilled juices, ambient temperature juices, or those preserved through other means that do not alter their fundamental composition to fall into a different classification.
