Import Tips
• Verify sugar preservation method and ensure drained/crystallized state via lab testing to confirm classification under 2006.00.60.00
• Provide certificates of origin and sugar content documentation to avoid misclassification as fresh peel or juice
• Watch for common pitfalls like moisture content exceeding limits, which could shift to other preserved fruit subheadings
