Tomato Juice, Dry Weight Content Less Than 7%

Tomato juice with a dry weight content below 7% — a relatively dilute product — is classified here and subdivided at the 10-digit level by packaging type: airtight containers (2009500010) and all other forms (2009500090). Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers to the US market, with Chile, Spain, and Ukraine also contributing meaningfully. The dry-weight threshold is a critical classification parameter; product at or above 7% dry weight content shifts to a different heading, so importers should verify product specifications with suppliers before filing entry. FDA regulates imported tomato juice as a food product, requiring facility registration and compliance with applicable food safety standards.
