Last updated: April 2026 dataApple juice is one of the most widely traded single-fruit juices in US import commerce, with concentrate forms dominating bulk shipments destined for the beverage blending and food-service sectors. FDA entry review covers pesticide residue compliance — particularly patulin, a mycotoxin with established action levels for apple juice — alongside standard labeling and Brix requirements. Importers of concentrate must also account for reconstitution ratio declarations to ensure correct classification and labeling at the finished-product stage.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by molds that can develop on damaged or decaying apples. FDA has established an action level for patulin in apple juice and apple juice products, and shipments found to exceed this threshold are subject to detention or refusal. Importers should request certificates of analysis from suppliers confirming patulin testing, especially for concentrate sourced from regions with variable harvest quality.
Both single-strength and concentrated apple juice fall within this SITC heading provided they are unfermented and contain no added spirit. However, at the HTS level, concentration factor and added sugar content can affect the specific tariff line applied. Confirming the Brix level and whether any sugar has been added is essential before filing entry documents.
