Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'glacé citrus peel' with net weight and sugar content to meet FDA food labeling standards
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates if peel retains any pulp, preventing reclassification as processed fruit
• Avoid bulk packaging over retail sizes, as it may trigger scrutiny for industrial use under different rates
