Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with 'frozen melon - unsweetened' to prevent reclassification as sweetened product
• Ensure compliance with FDA prior notice requirements for frozen fruits, including country of origin and processing details
• Test for moisture content to confirm not provisionally preserved under 0812, which requires unsuitability for consumption
