Last updated: August 2026 dataGrape must and unfermented grape juice occupy a distinct regulatory space at US ports: FDA reviews these beverages for labeling compliance, added preservatives, and Brix concentration standards that determine whether a product enters as juice or a juice product. Concentrated forms are common in trade and may require reconstitution disclosures on labeling. Importers should verify whether the product is single-strength or concentrate, as classification and duty treatment can differ accordingly.

Both grape must (partially fermented or unfermented crushed grape product) and finished grape juice fall under this heading provided they contain no added spirit and remain unfermented. The key classification distinction is that grape must retains pulp and seeds, while juice is the clarified or filtered liquid — but both are captured here. Importers should confirm Brix levels and processing method with their customs broker, as these factors can affect admissibility review and labeling requirements.
FDA requires that imported grape juice comply with standards of identity under 21 CFR, including accurate Brix labeling for concentrated products and disclosure of any added preservatives such as sulfur dioxide. Products that do not meet the standard of identity for grape juice may be reclassified as juice beverages, triggering different labeling obligations. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered food importer for admissibility guidance.
