What HS 2009.19 covers

This category includes non-frozen orange juice with a Brix value exceeding 20, indicating a more concentrated form than ready-to-drink juices but still not frozen. This type of juice is often used in industrial applications, for blending with other juices, or for reconstitution in markets where fresh or NFC juice is less viable. Trade involves bulk shipments from major orange-producing nations to food and beverage manufacturers globally. The higher concentration reduces shipping costs, making it an efficient way to transport orange solids internationally, catering to diverse processing needs. This product is a key ingredient for many beverage companies, allowing them to produce various orange juice products tailored to local tastes and price points.

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).
