About waters, including mineral and aerated waters, containing added sugar or sweetening matter, flavoured; other non-alcoholic beverages, not including fruit or vegetable juices of heading no. 2009
HS code 2202 covers a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages, including mineral and aerated waters, flavored waters, and other non-alcoholic drinks. This industry plays a significant role in the global food and beverage sector, catering to the growing consumer demand for convenient, refreshing, and often healthier alternatives to traditional carbonated soft drinks. The production and trade of these products are crucial components of both domestic and international commerce.
Production process
The production of HS 2202 beverages typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base liquid, such as purified water, is prepared and treated to meet quality standards. Sweeteners, flavorings, and other additives are then carefully measured and blended into the liquid. For carbonated beverages, the mixture is then infused with carbon dioxide under pressure. Bottling or canning the final product is the last step, ensuring proper packaging and sealing for distribution.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the HS 2202 industry include purified water, sweeteners (such as sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners), flavoring agents (both natural and synthetic), and packaging materials (bottles, cans, caps, etc.). Specialized equipment, such as blending tanks, carbonation systems, and bottling/canning lines, are also essential for the production process. The industry relies on a robust supply chain of raw materials and technological infrastructure to meet the diverse demands of consumers.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the HS 2202 industry are a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages, including mineral waters, flavored waters, carbonated soft drinks, and other non-alcoholic drink products. These outputs are often consumed directly by end-users, but they may also serve as inputs for other industries, such as the 2009 Fruit juices and vegetable juices industry, which may incorporate HS 2202 beverages as ingredients in their own products.
