2009.49.40.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 2009.49.40.40, encompasses pineapple juice that is not frozen and falls under the "other" designation within the broader category of "Other" pineapple juice. It includes all forms of pineapple juice that are not specifically classified as frozen.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 2009.49.40.20, by its state. While 2009.49.40.20 specifically covers frozen pineapple juice, this classification applies to unfrozen pineapple juice, whether it is refrigerated or at ambient temperature. Both classifications, however, are for unfermented pineapple juice with no added spirit, but which may contain added sugar or other sweetening matter.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have subcategories. Therefore, the practical application of this code relies on the accurate identification of unfrozen pineapple juice and its differentiation from the explicitly excluded "frozen" classification at the same level. This designation is crucial for ensuring accurate import and export declarations for all forms of non-frozen pineapple juice within Chapter 20.
