HS Code:
The 'Juice of any single fruit or vegetable' category, classified under HS Code 2009.89, encompasses juices derived from a single fruit or vegetable, not mixed with other juices, and may be unfermented and not containing added spirit. This category includes products like apple juice, orange juice, tomato juice, and others, whether concentrated or not. These products are significant in global trade due to their widespread consumption as beverages and their use in food processing industries. The trade of single fruit or vegetable juices is influenced by factors such as agricultural production, seasonal variations, consumer health trends, and trade policies.
