In addition, mushrooms of subheading 20019050 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:

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 200820 to 200880, 200893, 200897 and 200899 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:

  • ‘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:

  1. (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:

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

  2. (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 20096951 and 20096971, ‘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 %.
