Classification of single fruit juice under HS 2009.89
Single fruit juice that is not specifically named in other subheadings of heading 2009 is classified under HS code 2009.89. This classification falls under 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. The subheading 2009.89 acts as a residual category for juices of any single fruit, nut, or vegetable that are not orange, grapefruit, citrus, pineapple, tomato, grape, or apple juice. To qualify, the juice must be derived from a single botanical source. It can be concentrated or in a natural state, and it may contain added sugar or other sweetening matter. The classification is based on the product's essential character as a juice; if the product is heavily diluted with water and added flavors to the point of being a beverage, it may shift to Chapter 22.

Codes often confused with 2009.89
Common mistake. A common error is misclassifying single fruit juices under HS code 2009.90, which is reserved for mixtures of juices. If a juice contains even a small percentage of another fruit juice for flavoring, it must move to 2009.90. Another frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 2202.99, which covers non-alcoholic beverages. If the juice content is below a certain threshold (often 100% for pure juice definitions in some jurisdictions) or contains significant additives like milk or fats, it is classified as a beverage rather than a fruit juice.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
