Last updated: July 2026 dataLime and lemon juices above 20 Brix — along with other single-citrus juices not elsewhere classified — are the concentrated, higher-sugar forms used extensively in beverage manufacturing, culinary applications, and food ingredient supply chains. Argentina leads US import supply under this heading, reflecting its substantial lemon-processing industry, with Mexico and Brazil also significant sources. The heading's lines distinguish lime juice unfit for beverages (2009391000), beverage-grade lime juice (2009392000), and lemon juice in frozen (2009396020) and not-frozen (2009396040) forms, making concentration status and fitness-for-beverage declarations critical at entry. FDA prior notice and juice HACCP compliance are required for all shipments.

Argentina's Tucumán province is one of the world's largest lemon-growing and processing regions, producing substantial volumes of concentrated lemon juice that is exported globally. The country's industrial-scale juice extraction and concentration infrastructure, combined with Southern Hemisphere harvest timing that complements Northern Hemisphere demand cycles, positions Argentina as the primary supplier of concentrated lemon juice to the US market.
A blend of two or more citrus juices would no longer qualify as a 'single fruit' juice and would need to be classified under the mixed-juice headings (such as 200980) rather than under heading 200939. Importers should ensure that blended citrus juice products are not declared as single-fruit juice, as misclassification can trigger CBP penalties and reclassification at a different duty rate. Consult a licensed customs broker for guidance on mixed-juice classification.
