2106.90.52.00 - Juice of any single fruit or vegetable

This HTS category, 2106.90.52.00, specifically covers juices derived from a single fruit or vegetable that have been fortified with vitamins or minerals. The key distinction here is the singular origin of the juice. This means that the product must be exclusively from one type of fruit or one type of vegetable, and it must have been enhanced with specific vitamin or mineral content.

It is crucial to differentiate this classification from its sibling category, 2106.90.54.00, which covers "Mixtures of juices." While both fall under the broader heading of fortified fruit or vegetable juices, 2106.90.52.00 exclusively applies to juices of a single source, whereas 2106.90.54.00 is designated for products that combine juices from two or more different fruits or vegetables, even if those individual juices are also fortified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 2106.90.52.00. Therefore, classification into this subcategory relies entirely on verifying that the product is indeed a juice of a single fruit or vegetable and has undergone fortification with vitamins or minerals. Examples include a single-fruit juice like orange juice fortified with Vitamin C, or a single-vegetable juice like carrot juice fortified with Vitamin A. The fortification must be a deliberate addition, not an inherent nutrient naturally present.
