2009.61.00.40 - Frozen 🖩

This HTS category, 2009.61.00.40, specifically covers **frozen concentrated grape juice (including grape must) where the Brix value does not exceed 30**. The "frozen" designation is the primary classification criterion, indicating that the product has undergone a freezing process to preserve it. This includes grape juice that has been concentrated through methods such as evaporation or freezing, and then subsequently frozen for storage or transportation.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2009.61.00.60 "Other," by the specific form of preservation. While both fall under concentrated grape juice with a Brix value not exceeding 30, this category exclusively applies to the *frozen* form. The sibling category would encompass other forms of concentrated grape juice meeting the Brix criteria but not preserved by freezing, such as chilled or ambient temperature products.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for frozen, concentrated grape juice with a Brix value of 30 or less. Importers and exporters should confirm that the product meets all stipulated criteria, particularly the Brix measurement and the frozen state, to ensure correct declaration.
