Import Tips
• Ensure the concentrate is classified as a raw material for beverage manufacture, not as a finished beverage or syrup for retail sale
• Keep formulation documentation to show it is used at under 1% in final products
• Verify that the product does not contain alcohol; if it does, excise duty may apply and classification could shift to alcoholic preparations
