Import Tips
• Verify the product is frozen without added sugar via lab testing or supplier certification to avoid misclassification into sugar-added subheadings
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates confirm no pests or diseases, as frozen pineapples are subject to USDA APHIS inspections
• Declare net weight excluding packaging; common pitfall is including ice glaze weight which inflates duties
