Grapefruit & Pomelo Juice, Brix Value Exceeding 20

Higher-Brix grapefruit and pomelo juice — typically concentrated forms used in beverage manufacturing and foodservice blending — falls under this heading, with Mexico the leading US supplier, followed by South Africa, Spain, Italy, and Paraguay. The three US tariff lines (2009290000, 2009290020, and 2009290040) separate the general NESOI line from frozen and non-frozen subdivisions, a distinction that affects cold-chain logistics and duty treatment. FDA Juice HACCP requirements apply, and importers of concentrated grapefruit juice should confirm that processing records and pasteurization documentation are available for CBP review. The higher Brix threshold distinguishes these concentrates from the single-strength products classified under 200921.
