Last updated: April 2026 dataPineapple juice occupies its own dedicated heading separate from other tropical fruit juices, reflecting its commercial volume and distinct Brix and acidity profile used in beverage blending, food manufacturing, and direct consumption. FDA's juice HACCP regulation (21 CFR Part 120) governs imported pineapple juice, requiring foreign processors to document hazard controls and submit prior notice before each US shipment. Concentrated pineapple juice and single-strength forms may be classified differently at the HTS level, so specifying the Brix value and processing method in commercial invoices is essential for accurate entry. The product's natural acidity and enzyme content (bromelain) are also relevant to food-ingredient labeling when the juice is used as a processing aid.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
When pineapple juice is used as a food ingredient or processing aid, bromelain — a naturally occurring enzyme — may need to be disclosed if it has a technical effect in the finished food. FDA's ingredient labeling rules under 21 CFR Part 101 require declaration of all ingredients with functional roles. Importers supplying pineapple juice to food manufacturers should confirm with their customers whether bromelain disclosure is required on finished-product labels.
A certificate of analysis from the foreign processor stating the Brix value, acidity, and processing method (single-strength or concentrated) should accompany each shipment. This documentation supports correct HTS classification at the 10-digit level, where concentrated and single-strength juices may carry different duty rates, and also satisfies FDA identity-standard requirements for fruit juice.
