2009.79.00.15 - Certified organic

This HTS classification, 2009.79.00.15, specifically designates certified organic frozen apple juice. This category is reserved for apple juice that has met the rigorous standards for organic certification, indicating it was produced without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms, and is presented in a frozen state. The "certified organic" designation is the primary differentiating factor for this subcategory.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling, 2009.79.00.17, which covers "Other" frozen apple juice. The sibling category encompasses all other frozen apple juices that do not hold a certified organic status. Therefore, if a frozen apple juice does not possess the required organic certification, it would fall under the "Other" classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 2009.79.00.15. Classification at this level signifies the final determination for these specific goods. Importers and exporters should ensure that proper documentation substantiating the organic certification is available for customs purposes when declaring goods under this HTS code.
