2009.39.60.20 - Frozen 🖩

This classification covers frozen preparations that are specifically lemon juice. It falls under the broader category of juices of any other single citrus fruit, excluding those explicitly covered elsewhere, and under "Other" within the "Other" subcategory. The key defining characteristic is that the product is in a frozen state and consists solely of lemon juice, without fermentation or the addition of spirit.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2009.39.60.40 "Other," is crucial for accurate classification. While both fall under "Other" citrus juices, this code is reserved for frozen lemon juice specifically. The sibling category would encompass other forms or preparations of citrus juice that do not fit the specific criteria of frozen lemon juice.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, 2009.39.60.20 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code relies on meeting the precise definition of frozen lemon juice, ensuring it is derived from a single citrus fruit (lemon), is unfermented, and does not contain added spirit. The presence of added sugar or other sweetening matter is permissible within this code, provided the other criteria are met.
