Classification of orange juice concentrate under HS 2009.19
Orange juice concentrate is classified under HS code 2009.19. This code is part of Chapter 20, which deals with preparations of fruit and vegetables. Heading 2009 covers fruit juices that are unfermented and alcohol-free. Subheading 2009.19 is specifically designated for orange juice that is not frozen but has a Brix value exceeding 20. The Brix value is a measure of the soluble solids content, primarily sugars, in the juice. A value above 20 indicates that the juice has been concentrated, typically through the removal of water via evaporation or reverse osmosis. This classification applies to both sweetened and unsweetened concentrates, as long as they have not been fermented or mixed with spirits. The distinction between 2009.12 and 2009.19 is purely based on the concentration level as measured by the Brix scale. This product is often shipped in bulk for later dilution and bottling by beverage manufacturers.

Codes often confused with 2009.19
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 2009.11, which is for frozen orange juice concentrate. If the concentrate is frozen for transport, it must be moved to 2009.11. It is also confused with 2009.12, which is for juice with a Brix value of 20 or less. Furthermore, if the concentrate is intended for use as a syrup in soda fountains and contains significant additives like acids and artificial flavors, it might be classified under 2106.90 as a food preparation.

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).
