Import Tips
• Include production records proving cooking process at atmospheric or reduced pressure to meet chapter note for heading 2007
• Label clearly as 'jam' with ingredient breakdown; common pitfall is confusion with lower-duty berry juices
• Test for alcohol content <0.5% vol to avoid reclassification under chapter 22 fermented products
