Import Tips
• Request Certificates of Analysis (COA) from suppliers verifying no additives that could shift classification to homogenized or juiced products
• Package in consumer-ready tins under 5kg to align with retail import norms and reduce duty scrutiny
• Monitor for anti-dumping duties if sourced from specific countries like Peru or Southeast Asia
