Certified Organic Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate
This is a concentrated juice extracted from tart cherries (Prunus cerasus), certified organic, unfermented, and not containing added spirit, with added sugar for sweetness. It falls under HTS 2009.89.65.30 due to its classification as certified organic tart cherry juice, a single fruit juice under the 'other' fruit juice category. The Brix value typically exceeds requirements for this subheading, distinguishing it from lower-concentration juices.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not certified organic
Non-organic tart cherry juice shifts to general 'other fruit juices' subheading with potentially different duty rates.
If cherry-vegetable blended juice
Blends with vegetables may classify under vegetable-forward juices if not purely single fruit.
If sold as a beverage with significant additives
Excessive non-sugar additives or flavorings push it to food preparations, not pure juice.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify USDA or EU organic certification documentation matches the 'certified organic' HTS requirement to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab analysis confirming Brix value, unfermented status, and no added spirit; common pitfall is insufficient proof of single-fruit content
• Declare net weight accurately and ensure labels specify 'tart cherry juice' for CBP scrutiny on juice authenticity
