2106.90.54.00 - Mixtures of juices

This HTS category, 2106.90.54.00, specifically encompasses mixtures of fruit or vegetable juices that have been fortified with vitamins or minerals. These are prepared food preparations intended for consumption, falling under the broader scope of "Other" food preparations not elsewhere specified or included within Chapter 21. The key characteristic defining these products is the presence of multiple types of fruit or vegetable juices combined, rather than a single juice.

It is important to distinguish this classification from its sibling category, 2106.90.52.00, which covers juice of any *single* fruit or vegetable. For goods to be classified under 2106.90.54.00, they must involve a blend of at least two different fruit or vegetable juices, and crucially, this mixture must be fortified with added vitamins or minerals. If a product is a mixture of juices but lacks such fortification, it would likely be classified elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 2106.90.54.00 is final for eligible products. Practical classification will depend on confirming the presence of a mixture of juices and the documented addition of vitamins or minerals. The origin of the juices (e.g., purees, concentrates) and their specific formulation will guide the determination of whether a product meets the criteria for this specific classification.
