Overview
This HTS category, 2009.89, encompasses juices derived from fruits, nuts, or vegetables that are not otherwise specifically enumerated within Chapter 20. These juices must be unfermented and should not contain added spirits. While they may have added sugar or other sweetening matters, the fundamental characteristic is that they originate from a single type of fruit, nut, or vegetable.
Distinguishing 2009.89 from its sibling, 2009.81.00.00, is crucial. The sibling category is exclusively for cranberry and lingonberry juices. Therefore, 2009.89 serves as a residual category for juices of any *other* single fruit, nut, or vegetable. For instance, pure apple juice, pure orange juice, or pure carrot juice, if not falling into a more specific provision, would be classified here.
The subcategories within 2009.89 further refine this classification based on the botanical origin of the juice. The primary subdivision separates "Fruit juice" from "Vegetable juice" (2009.89.80). This distinction is important for trade reporting and statistical purposes, acknowledging the different sourcing and potential end-uses of these liquid preparations.
