Classification of frozen orange juice concentrate under HS 2009.11
Frozen orange juice concentrate is classified under HS code 2009.11. Heading 2009 encompasses fruit juices (including grape must) and vegetable juices, unfermented and not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter. The classification is structured by the type of fruit and then by the physical state and Brix value. Subheading 2009.11 is specifically dedicated to orange juice that is frozen. This classification applies regardless of the concentration level (Brix value), as long as the product remains in a frozen state for transport and storage. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6 guide this selection, as the product description for 2009.11 explicitly mentions "Frozen." It is important to note that the juice must not be fermented or contain added alcohol; if it does, it would be classified under Chapter 22.

Codes often confused with 2009.11
Common mistake. A common error is classifying frozen orange juice under HS code 2009.12 or 2009.19. Code 2009.12 is for orange juice that is not frozen and has a Brix value not exceeding 20, while 2009.19 is for other types of orange juice (typically non-frozen concentrate). The primary distinction for 2009.11 is the temperature-controlled state of the product. Additionally, if the product is an orange-flavored beverage containing only a small percentage of juice and significant additives like acids and flavorings, it might be misclassified here instead of under 2202.10 (waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavored).

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).
