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 Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014 (1)) 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.

(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 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014 (1)) at a temperature of 20 °C. 3.
