What HS 2009.11 covers
This HS code specifically targets frozen orange juice, a major commodity in the global beverage market. The freezing process allows for long-distance transport and extended shelf life, making it a staple for year-round consumption worldwide. Trade involves large-scale agricultural producers, primarily in subtropical regions like Brazil and Florida, exporting concentrated or ready-to-reconstitute frozen juice to consumer markets. The industry is characterized by significant logistics, cold chain management, and price fluctuations influenced by harvest yields and global demand. This category is essential for providing affordable and accessible orange juice to a global consumer base, often reconstituted by consumers or used as an ingredient in other beverages.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
