Import Tips
• Document slice thickness and freezing method to distinguish from puree; CBP audits often check this
• Ensure compliance with FDA prior notice for frozen fruits; late filing leads to holds
• Test for natural sugar content if no additives declared—over 13% Brix may trigger sweetening scrutiny
