Other Single Citrus Fruit Juice, Not Fortified (NESOI)

Lime and lemon juices that exceed the Brix-20 threshold or otherwise fall outside the more specific subheadings — along with other single-citrus juices not covered elsewhere — are captured here, with Argentina the leading US supplier, followed by Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, and Bolivia. The eight US tariff lines (2009391000, 2009391550, 2009392000, 2009396010, 2009396020, 2009396040, 2009396060, and 2009396090) separate lime juice unfit for beverages, general lime juice, lemon juice by frozen/non-frozen state, and a residual single-citrus category. Argentina and Uruguay's prominence reflects South America's significant lemon-processing industry, which exports concentrated lemon juice widely used in the US beverage and food sectors. FDA Juice HACCP compliance is required, and importers should verify that the absence of vitamin or mineral fortification is documented to maintain classification here rather than in a fortified-juice heading.
