About juice; apple, of a brix value not exceeding 20, unfermented, (not containing added spirit), whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

HS code 200971 covers the import and export of unfermented apple juice with a Brix value not exceeding 20, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter. This code is significant as apple juice is a widely consumed beverage globally, with a growing demand driven by health-conscious consumers. The apple juice industry plays an important role in the broader food and beverage sector, providing a source of revenue for farmers, processors, and distributors.

Production process

The production of apple juice covered under HS code 200971 typically involves several key steps. First, apples are harvested and washed. They are then crushed or pressed to extract the juice. The juice is then pasteurized to kill any harmful bacteria and extend its shelf life. Finally, the juice may be filtered, clarified, and sometimes blended with other juices or sweeteners before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of apple juice under HS code 200971 include fresh apples, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on processing equipment such as crushers, presses, pasteurizers, and packaging machinery. Water, energy, and labor are also significant inputs needed for the production process.
