Import Tips
• Verify the syrup concentration is sufficient to preserve the berries without refrigeration, as this affects the preservation method
• Ensure the jars are properly sealed and labelled with the net weight and sugar content
• Check that the product is not considered a fruit jelly under chapter note 2, which would reclassify it to heading 17.04
