Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 200990 when importing or exporting unfermented mixtures of fruit or vegetable juices that do not contain added spirit. For instance, a shipment of mixed fruit juice containing apple and orange juice falls under this code.
This HS-6 specifically covers juices that may include added sugar or sweetening agents but excludes nut juices. For example, a blend of carrot and beet juice with sugar would qualify, while a pure nut juice would not.
If you’re dealing with pure fruit juices without any mixture, you might consider HS-6 200911 for apple juice or HS-6 200912 for orange juice. These codes apply to single fruit juices rather than mixed varieties.
When classifying your product, ensure that it meets the criteria of being unfermented and not containing added spirits. This distinction is crucial for proper tariff classification and compliance.
