About juice; grape, of a brix value exceeding 30, unfermented, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

HS code 200969 covers the import and export of grape juice with a Brix value exceeding 30, which is a measure of the sugar content. This unfermented juice is a popular ingredient in various food and beverage products, and its global trade plays a significant role in the broader agricultural and food processing industries. As a high-value commodity, the trade of this grape juice is an important economic activity, with implications for producers, processors, and consumers worldwide.

Production process

The production of grape juice covered under HS code 200969 typically involves several key steps. Grapes are first harvested and transported to processing facilities, where they undergo thorough cleaning and sorting. The grapes are then crushed, and the juice is extracted, often using mechanical presses. The extracted juice is then pasteurized to kill any harmful microorganisms and stabilize the product. Finally, the juice may be concentrated to increase its Brix value, typically through evaporation or reverse osmosis, before being packaged and prepared for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of grape juice under HS code 200969 include high-quality grape varieties, processing equipment such as crushers and presses, and energy sources for powering the various stages of production. Additionally, packaging materials, such as bottles or cans, and transportation infrastructure are essential for the distribution of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 200969 is concentrated, unfermented grape juice with a Brix value exceeding 30. This juice can be used as a base ingredient in a wide range of food and beverage products, including 200919 Fruit juices, unfermented and not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, 220429 Wine; other than sparkling wine, in containers holding 2 litres or less, and various confectionery items.
