Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not frozen
Unfrozen pineapple juice of Brix ≤20 uses a separate subheading for liquid forms.
If dried rather than frozen
Dried pineapple, even if intended for juice reconstitution, classifies as dried legumes/vegetables if processed that way.
If containing added sugar
Addition of sugar or sweetening matter moves it to subheadings for sweetened juices.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Brix measurement reports from an accredited lab to customs, ensuring reading is corrected to 20°C
• Use insulated containers with temperature logs to maintain frozen state, as partial thawing risks reclassification to unfrozen juice
• Avoid any preservatives that could imply added spirit; declare as pure juice for accurate duty assessment
