HS code for Mixed fruit juice: 2009.90
Juices, mixtures of fruits or vegetables (but not nut juice), unfermented, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter.
Classification of mixed fruit juice under HS 2009.90
Mixed fruit juice is classified under HS code 2009.90, which falls within Chapter 20 of the Harmonized System. This chapter is dedicated to preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other parts of plants. Specifically, heading 2009 covers fruit juices (including grape must) and vegetable juices, provided they are unfermented and do not contain added spirit. The classification under 2009.90 is determined by the fact that the product is a mixture of two or more juices. To qualify for this code, the juice must maintain its character as a beverage base; it can contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, but the addition of alcohol would reclassify it entirely. The classification process involves evaluating the Brix value and the constituent parts to ensure that no single fruit juice dominates in a way that would require classification under a specific single-fruit subheading (such as 2009.11 for orange juice). For customs purposes, the mixture must be a physical blend of juices from different fruits or vegetables, excluding nut juices which are classified elsewhere.

Codes often confused with 2009.90
Common mistake. Mixed fruit juices are frequently misclassified under HS code 2202.10. This code is for waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavored. If a product contains a very low percentage of actual fruit juice and is primarily water with flavorings and sweeteners, it belongs in Chapter 22 rather than Chapter 20. Additionally, single fruit juices are often confused with mixtures; for instance, pure orange juice must be under 2009.11-2009.19, not 2009.90.

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).
