     the application of this definition no account is to be taken of small quantities of any        
     ingredients which may have been added to the preparation for seasoning, preservation or        
     other purposes.  These preparations may contain a small quantity of visible pieces of

     ingredients which may have been added to the preparation for seasoning, preservation or        
     other purposes.  These preparations may contain a small quantity of visible pieces of fruit.   
     Subheading 2007.10 takes precedence over the other subheadings of heading 2007.

     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 degrees C or corrected for 20 degrees    
     C if the reading is made at a different temperature.

1.  For the purposes of heading 2009, the term "Brix value" means the refractometric sucrose        
     value of the juice, adjusted to compensate for the effect of any added sweetening materials,   
     and thereafter corrected for acid.                                                             
                                                                                                    
2.  In determining the degree of concentration of mixed fruit juices, the mixture shall be          
     considered as being wholly of the component juice having the lowest Brix value.                
                                                                                                    
3.  For the purposes of heading 2009, the term "liters" in the "Units of Quantity" column of the    
     provisions applicable to fruit juices means liters of natural unconcentrated juice or liters of
     reconstituted juice.                                                                           
                                                                                                    
4.  The term "reconstituted fruit juice" means the product which can be obtained by mixing the      
     exported concentrate with water in such proportion that the product will have a Brix value     
     equal to that found by the Secretary of the Treasury from time to time to be the average Brix  
     value of like natural unconcentrated juice in the trade and commerce of the United States.     
                                                                                                    
5.  In determining the number of liters of reconstituted fruit juice which can be obtained from a   
     concentrate, the degree of concentration shall be calculated on a volume basis to the          
     nearest 0.5 degree, as determined by the ratio of the Brix value of the exported               
     concentrated juice to that of the reconstituted juice, corrected for differences of specific   
     gravity of the juices.  Any juice having a degree of concentration of less than 1.5 (as        
     determined before correction to the nearest 0.5 degree) shall be regarded as a natural         
     unconcentrated juice.
