Classification of mixed vegetable juice under HS 2009.90

Mixed vegetable juice is classified under HS code 2009.90. This classification is governed by Chapter 20, which covers preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other parts of plants. Heading 2009 is dedicated to fruit juices and vegetable juices that are unfermented and do not contain added spirit. Subheading 2009.90 is the specific category for mixtures of juices. This includes any combination of two or more vegetable juices, or a mixture of fruit and vegetable juices. The classification remains applicable whether or not the juice contains added sugar or other sweetening matter. For a product to remain in this category, it must retain the essential character of a juice. If the product is diluted with water to the point where it is consumed as a beverage rather than a juice, or if it contains significant added flavorings and carbonation, it may be reclassified under Chapter 22 as a beverage.

Codes often confused with 2009.90

Common mistake. Mixed vegetable juice is often misclassified under individual juice codes (2009.11 through 2009.89) if one ingredient is dominant. However, any mixture of two or more juices must go to 2009.90. It is also confused with HS code 2104.10 (soups and broths). The distinction is that juices are intended for drinking as a beverage, while soups are typically seasoned preparations intended to be eaten as a meal, often requiring heating.

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).
