2009.79.00 - Other

This category, 2009.79.00, encompasses apple juice that does not meet the specific Brix value criteria of its sibling category. Specifically, it covers apple juice with a Brix value exceeding 20, which indicates a higher concentration of dissolved solids, primarily sugars. This classification applies to both single-strength and concentrated apple juices, provided they are unfermented, do not contain added spirits, and are not otherwise classified.

The distinction from its sibling, 2009.71.00.00, lies solely in the measured Brix value. While 2009.71.00.00 is reserved for apple juices with a Brix value of 20 or less, this category (2009.79.00) is for those exceeding this threshold. This differentiation is critical for customs purposes, as Brix value can influence duties and regulatory requirements.

Under this heading, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification. The subcategory 2009.79.00.20 specifically addresses "Other" apple juice, implying that any apple juice not falling into a more specific sub-classification within this Brix range would be categorized here. This allows for the capture of any remaining apple juices that meet the general criteria of apple juice but don't fit into more granular classifications based on attributes like freezing or specific processing not already accounted for.
