Frozen Concentrate Orange Juice from Japan
Frozen concentrate orange juice is orange juice with a significant portion of water removed, resulting in a thick, pourable concentrate typically sold frozen for reconstitution. It falls under HTS 2009.19.00.00 as 'other' orange juice, unfermented, not containing added spirit, distinct from single-strength or reconstituted not-from-concentrate varieties. This classification applies to concentrates not specifically covered under other subheadings like 2009.11 or 2009.12.

Import Tips

• Provide certificates of analysis confirming no added spirit and unfermented status to avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper labeling of reconstitution instructions and net weight to comply with FDA food import regulations
