2009.31.20 - Other

This HTS classification, specifically 2009.31.20, encompasses juices derived from any single citrus fruit that possess a Brix value not exceeding 20. The term "Other" in this context signifies that these juices are neither unfit for beverage purposes nor specifically classified under other single citrus fruit categories at this level. The key differentiator here is the Brix value, which measures the total soluble solids content in the juice, indicating its sugar concentration.

Within this category, the primary distinction is made between concentrated and non-concentrated forms of these single citrus fruit juices. The subcategory 2009.31.20.20 covers juices that have not undergone a process to remove water, maintaining their natural liquid state. Conversely, 2009.31.20.40 is designated for juices where water has been removed, resulting in a higher concentration of fruit solids and a thicker consistency, often intended for reconstitution into a beverage. This subdivision allows for distinct tariff treatments based on the physical processing and intended use of the juice.
