Organic Pasteurized Orange Juice from Mexico
Organic pasteurized orange juice is 100% orange juice heated to kill bacteria, packaged for retail without concentration or reconstitution. Classified under HTS 2009.19.00.00 as 'other' orange juice since it doesn't meet criteria for frozen concentrate, single-strength NFC, or specific Brix-defined subheadings. It remains unfermented with no added spirit.

Import Tips
• Obtain USDA organic certification and provide lab tests for Brix and alcohol content to confirm 2009.19 classification
• Declare pasteurization method and ensure containers meet food-grade standards to prevent FDA holds
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'fresh' which could trigger scrutiny under NFC subheadings
