Last updated: July 2026 dataChilled, not-from-concentrate (NFC) orange juice with a Brix value at or below 20 occupies a distinct commercial niche from frozen concentrate, serving premium retail and foodservice channels that demand fresh-tasting, minimally processed juice. The US schedule includes lines for unconcentrated product (2009122500) and other not-frozen juice below 20 Brix (2009124500), with Brix measurement at the point of entry being a critical classification determinant. Brazil and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with Spain also a notable source for European-style NFC product. FDA prior notice and importer facility registration requirements apply, and cold-chain integrity documentation is often requested at the port of entry.

Brix value measures the dissolved sugar content of juice and determines whether a shipment falls under the not-exceeding-20 heading (200912) or the higher-Brix heading (200919). CBP may test Brix at the port of entry using a refractometer; if the measured value exceeds 20, the shipment is reclassified to the appropriate higher-Brix subheading, which can affect the applicable duty rate. Importers should obtain certified lab analysis from the exporter to support the declared Brix value.
Line 2009122500 covers juice that has not been concentrated at any stage — true NFC product — while 2009124500 captures other not-frozen juice below 20 Brix that may have been reconstituted or otherwise processed. The distinction matters commercially because NFC commands a premium and may face different labeling requirements under FDA juice HACCP regulations. Admissibility and classification are complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA for product-specific guidance.
