About juice; of single citrus fruit (excluding orange or grapefruit), of a brix value not exceeding 20, unfermented, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

HS code 200931 covers a specific category of citrus fruit juices, excluding orange and grapefruit, with a Brix value not exceeding 20. These juices are unfermented and do not contain added spirit, though they may have added sugar or other sweetening matter. This industry plays a significant role in the global food and beverage sector, catering to consumer demand for diverse citrus-based juice options.

Production process

The production of juices under HS code 200931 typically involves extracting the juice from various citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, or mandarins, through mechanical pressing or centrifugation. The extracted juice is then pasteurized, filtered, and sometimes blended with other ingredients like sweeteners or preservatives, depending on the desired product characteristics. Careful control of the Brix value, which measures the sugar content, is essential to ensure the juice meets the specified criteria.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of juices under HS code 200931 include the raw citrus fruits, such as 080550 lemons, 080540 limes, or 080520 mandarins. Additionally, the industry relies on processing equipment like juice extractors, pasteurizers, and packaging materials to ensure the final product is safe, stable, and ready for distribution.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the citrus fruit juice itself, which can be packaged and sold directly to consumers or used as an ingredient in other food and beverage products. These juices may be consumed on their own or incorporated into 200919 fruit juice mixtures, 220210 waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavored, or 210690 food preparations not elsewhere specified.
