Import Tips
• Verify Brix value and sugar content via lab testing to confirm classification under jams, avoiding reclassification as fruit puree
• Provide commercial invoice detailing cooking process and ingredients to demonstrate compliance with heading 2007 requirements
• Ensure labeling meets FDA standards for jams, including net weight and allergen declarations to prevent customs delays
