Certified Organic Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate from China

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.

Import Tips

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
