Mixtures of Fruit and/or Vegetable Juices, Unfermented

Blended juice products — combining two or more fruit juices, vegetable juices, or both — are classified here rather than under any single-commodity heading, making correct classification dependent on confirming that the product is indeed a mixture and not a single-source juice with minor additives. The two tariff lines separate vegetable juice mixtures (2009902000) from fruit juice mixtures (2009904000), a distinction that can affect applicable duty rates. Canada and Turkey lead US imports under this heading, with Thailand and Mexico also significant sources. Importers of blended products should document the juice composition clearly on commercial invoices to support classification and facilitate FDA entry review.
