About waters, including mineral and aerated waters, containing added sugar or sweetening matter, flavoured; other non-alcoholic beverages, not including fruit, nut or vegetable juices of heading no. 2009
HS code 2202 covers a diverse range of non-alcoholic beverages, including mineral and aerated waters, flavored waters, and other non-alcoholic drinks. This industry plays a vital role in the global food and beverage sector, providing consumers with a wide variety of refreshing and convenient options. The production and trade of these products are significant contributors to the overall economy, with a growing demand driven by changing consumer preferences and the increasing popularity of healthier, low-calorie alternatives to traditional carbonated soft drinks.
Production process
The production of the beverages covered under HS code 2202 typically involves several key steps. First, the base liquid, such as water, is sourced and treated to meet specific quality standards. Sweeteners, flavors, and other additives are then carefully measured and blended into the base liquid. The mixture is then carbonated, if desired, and packaged into various containers, such as bottles, cans, or cartons, for distribution and sale.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 2202 beverages include high-quality water, sweeteners (such as sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners), flavoring agents, and packaging materials like bottles, cans, or cartons. Specialized equipment, such as carbonation systems, filling lines, and labeling machines, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a robust supply chain of raw materials, logistics, and distribution networks to ensure the efficient delivery of these products to consumers.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the HS code 2202 industry are a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages, including mineral and aerated waters, flavored waters, and other non-alcoholic drinks. These products are often consumed as refreshments, mixers, or alternatives to traditional carbonated soft drinks. The outputs of this industry may be further processed or incorporated into other food and beverage products, such as 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, 2009 (Fruit juices (including grape must) and vegetable juices, unfermented and not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter), or 2208 Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 80% vol; spirits, liqueurs and other spirituous beverages.
