2009.69.00 - Other

This HTS category, 2009.69.00, encompasses grape juice and grape must that do not fall under the specific Brix value designation of its sibling category. It includes all grape juices, whether from fresh or dried grapes, and grape musts that have a Brix value exceeding 30. These preparations are unfermented, meaning they have not undergone alcoholic fermentation, and do not contain added spirit. They may, however, have added sugar or other sweetening matter.

The primary distinction of 2009.69.00 from its sibling, 2009.61.00, lies in the Brix measurement. While 2009.61.00 specifically covers grape juice and must with a Brix value not exceeding 30, this category is reserved for those with a Brix value greater than 30, indicating a higher concentration of soluble solids, primarily sugars. Both categories fall under the broader classification of grape juice (including grape must) and are characterized by being unfermented and unadulterated with spirit.

Within 2009.69.00, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on physical state and form. The subcategory 2009.69.00.40 applies to frozen grape juice and grape must, while 2009.69.00.60 covers all other forms not otherwise specified, such as chilled or ambient temperature liquid preparations. These subcategories allow for more precise tracking and tariff application based on the presentation of the product.
