HS Code:
The category 'Not concentrated and not made from a juice having a degree of concentration of 1.5 or more (as determined before correction to the nearest 0.5 degree)' typically pertains to certain fruit juices or vegetable juices that are not concentrated beyond a specific degree. This category falls under the Harmonized System (HS) Code related to beverages, often under headings like 2009 (Fruit juices and vegetable juices). Products in this category are generally in their natural or minimally processed state, preserving their original characteristics and nutritional content. These products are widely traded globally due to varying agricultural capabilities and consumer demand for natural beverages.
