2009.89.70.31 - Blueberry juice, including concentrate

This HTS subcategory, 2009.89.70.31, specifically classifies blueberry juice and blueberry juice concentrate. This includes 100% pure blueberry juice, as well as any blueberry juice where other ingredients are not present in a manner that would change its fundamental character as blueberry juice. The product must be unfermented and not contain added spirit, though the addition of sugar or other sweetening matters is permissible under this heading.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. For instance, 2009.89.70.55 covers red raspberry juice, while this category is exclusively for blueberry-derived products. The sibling category 2009.89.70.65, labeled "Other," would encompass juices of single fruits, nuts, or vegetables not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the broader "Juice of any other single fruit, nut or vegetable" heading.

As a leaf node, 2009.89.70.31 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this specific code relies on the accurate identification of the product as blueberry juice or concentrate. The primary determining factors for classification are the origin of the juice (exclusively from blueberries) and its form (liquid juice or concentrated form).
