Import Tips
• Provide certificates of analysis showing exact sugar content and Brix levels to avoid reclassification
• Use refrigerated containers (reefers) set to -18°C; temperature excursions can trigger FDA rejection
• Confirm 'immediate container' holds >1.2L filled; partial fills may require volume certification
