Overview
This HTS classification, 2009.89.20.00, specifically covers pear juice. It falls under the broader category of fruit or nut juices, unfermented, and not containing added spirit, which may or may not have added sugar or other sweetening matter. The scope is limited to juice derived solely from pears, and it excludes any mixtures of pear juice with other fruits or vegetables.
To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's important to note that 2009.89.40.00 is reserved for prune juice, and 2009.89.65 is for cherry juice. While all are single-fruit juices within the "Other" subcategory of single juices, their distinction lies in the specific fruit source. If a product were a mixture of pear and another fruit juice, it would likely fall under a different classification, such as 2009.90.00.00 for mixtures of juices.
As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for pure pear juice meeting the outlined criteria. Classification at this level requires ensuring the product is solely derived from pears and adheres to the general conditions of not being fermented or containing added spirit, even if sweeteners are present.
