Non-Frozen Orange Juice, Brix Value Not Exceeding 20

A Brix value at or below 20 signals a not-from-concentrate or lightly sweetened single-strength juice, placing it in this subheading rather than the higher-Brix concentrated category. Brazil and Mexico lead US supply, with Spain, Morocco, and Peru also contributing — a supplier mix that spans both the Americas and Mediterranean citrus regions. The US schedule includes lines 2009120000, 2009122500, and 2009124500, distinguishing between not-concentrated and other forms within the Brix-20 ceiling. FDA's Juice HACCP rule applies, and importers should verify that pasteurization or equivalent treatment documentation accompanies each shipment.
