For the purposes of subheadings 2009 12, 2009 21, 2009 31, 2009 41, 2009 61 and 2009 71, the expression ‘Brix value’ means the direct reading of degrees Brix obtained from a Brix hydrometer or of refractive index expressed in terms of percentage sucrose content obtained from a refractometer, at a temperature of 20 °C or corrected for 20 °C if the reading is made at a different temperature.

Additional notes

1. For the purposes of heading 2001, vegetables, fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acid must have a content of free, volatile acid of 0,5 % by weight or more, expressed as acetic acid. In addition, mushrooms of subheading 2001 90 50 should not have a salt content exceeding 2,5 % by weight.

2. (a) The content of various sugars expressed as sucrose (sugar content) of products classified in this Chapter corresponds to the figure indicated by a refractometer (used in accordance with the method prescribed in the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014) at a temperature of 20 °C and multiplied by one of the following factors: - 0,93 in respect of products of subheadings 2008 20 to 2008 80, 2008 93, 2008 97 and 2008 99; - 0,95 in respect of products of the other headings. However, the content of various sugars expressed as sucrose (sugar content) of the following products classified in this Chapter: - products manufactured on the basis of seaweed and other algae prepared or preserved by processes not provided for in Chapter 12; - products manufactured on the basis of manioc, arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content of heading 0714; - products manufactured on the basis of vine leaves; corresponds to the figure resulting from a calculation carried out on the basis of measurements which have been obtained applying the high performance liquid chromatography method (the “HPLC method”), using the following formula: S + (G + F) × 0,95; where: “S” is the sucrose content determined by the HPLC method; “F” is the fructose content determined by the HPLC method; “G” is the glucose content determined by the HPLC method. (b) The expression ‘Brix value’, mentioned in the subheadings of heading 2009, corresponds to the figure indicated by a refractometer (used in accordance with the method prescribed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014) at a temperature of 20 °C.

3. The products of subheadings 2008 20 to 2008 80, 2008 93, 2008 97 and 2008 99 are to be considered as containing added sugar when the ‘sugar content’ thereof exceeds by weight the percentages given hereunder, according to the kind of fruit or edible part of plant concerned:

- pineapples and grapes: 13 %,

- other fruits, including mixtures of fruit, and other edible parts of plants: 9 %.

4. For the purposes of subheadings 2008 30 11 to 2008 30 39, 2008 40 11 to 2008 40 39, 2008 50 11 to 2008 50 59, 2008 60 11 to 2008 60 39, 2008 70 11 to 2008 70 59, 2008 80 11 to 2008 80 39, 2008 93 11 to 2008 93 29, 2008 97 12 to 2008 97 38 and 2008 99 11 to 2008 99 40, the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:

- ‘actual alcoholic strength by mass’: the number of kilograms of pure alcohol contained in 100 kg of the product,

- ‘% mas’: the symbol for alcoholic strength by mass.

5. The following is to be applied to the products as they are presented:

(a) the added sugar content of products of heading 2009 corresponds to the ‘sugar content’ less the figures given hereunder, according to the kind of juice concerned:

- lemon or tomato juice: 3,

- grape juice: 15,

- other fruit or vegetable juices, including mixtures of juices: 13.

(b) the fruit juices with added sugar, of a Brix value not exceeding 67 and containing less than 50 % by weight of fruit juice lose their original character of fruit juices of heading 2009.

Item (b) does not apply to concentrated natural fruit juices. Consequently, concentrated natural fruit juices are not excluded from heading 2009.

6. For the purposes of subheadings 2009 69 51 and 2009 69 71, ‘concentrated grape juice (including grape must)’ means grape juice (including grape must) for which the figure indicated by a refractometer (used in accordance with the method prescribed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014) at a temperature of 20 °C is not less than 50,9 %.
