Import Tips
• Document rice origin to avoid GMO concerns; ensure no dairy addition pushes to milk prep subheadings
• Specify Brix level in docs for fluid verification; pitfall is classification as starch sugar if overprocessed
• Comply with FDA prior notice for fluid foods; use food-grade containers
