Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 200989 when importing or exporting unfermented juices made from single fruits, nuts, or vegetables that aren't specifically classified elsewhere. For example, a shipment of pure carrot juice would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 200910, which covers concentrated fruit or vegetable juices. If your product is a ready-to-drink juice without concentration, 200989 is the correct choice.
The classification also excludes juices with added spirits, which would shift the code to a different category. If your juice contains any alcohol, you need to look at other HS codes.
When considering 200989, think about the end-use of the product. Juices intended for direct consumption without any additives or preservatives fit here, while those meant for further processing might not.
