2009.90 - Mixtures of juices:

This category, HTS 2009.90, encompasses mixtures of juices that are not derived from a single fruit or vegetable. Unlike its sibling categories, which are dedicated to juices of specific fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, pineapples, or single citrus fruits, or to specific vegetable juices like tomato juice, this heading captures beverages where two or more distinct fruit juices, vegetable juices, or a combination thereof, are blended together. The key characteristic is the absence of a single dominant juice type; instead, the product is a composite.

The classification within this "Mixtures of juices" heading is further refined by its subcategories, distinguishing between vegetable-based mixtures and all other types. The "Vegetable" subcategory is for those mixtures where the primary component is derived from vegetables, even if fruit juices are also present. The "Other" subcategory then serves as a catch-all for all remaining juice mixtures, which would predominantly include blends of various fruit juices, or combinations of fruit and vegetable juices that do not fit the specific "Vegetable" classification.
