1. For the purposes of this chapter, the 'sugar content' corresponds to the figure indicated by a refractometer (used in accordance with the method prescribed in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014) at a temperature of 20 degrees C and multiplied by 0.95 or, in the case of products of subheading 2009 (fruit juices), by the factor 0.93. 2. For the purposes of subheading 2001 90 and 2005 99, 'sweet corn' (Zea mays var. saccharata) means preparations of corn with a sugar content determined on a dry basis of at least 30 % by weight. 3. For the purposes of subheadings 2006 00 31, 2006 00 35, 2006 00 38, 2006 00 91, 2006 00 95 and 2006 00 99, the 'sugar content' means the sucrose content determined by the refractometric method. 4. The Brix value of fruit juices of heading 2009 is the Brix value as read on the refractometer at 20 degrees C. It indicates the percentage by weight of soluble dry matter (predominantly sugars).
