Juice of Any Other Single Fruit, Nut, or Vegetable, NESOI

The US schedule provides dedicated lines specifically for tart cherry juice concentrate — separating certified organic (2009896515) from non-organic (2009896520) — as well as lines for non-concentrated tart cherry juice in organic (2009896530) and non-organic (2009896540) forms, and a catch-all for other cherry juice (2009896550). Classification depends on whether the product is tart (sour) cherry versus sweet cherry, whether it is concentrated, and whether it carries USDA NOP organic certification. Importers should obtain a written product specification from the supplier confirming variety and processing method before filing entry.

FDA has issued guidance indicating that coconut water marketed as a juice must meet juice labeling requirements under 21 CFR Part 101, including accurate percent juice declarations and HACCP compliance. Unlike many tropical juices, coconut water is often imported in bulk aseptic packaging and repacked domestically, which can trigger additional FDA facility registration and process filing requirements for the US repacker. Importers should confirm whether their product is classified as a juice or a beverage under FDA's framework, as the distinction affects labeling obligations.
