Import Tips
• Verify Brix value and sugar content via lab testing to confirm classification as jam under 2007.99.40.00
• Provide certificates of analysis showing cooking process and pineapple as primary ingredient
• Avoid misclassification as juice (2009) by documenting viscosity increase from heat treatment
