Import Tips
• Verify cooking process documentation to confirm heat treatment for viscosity increase, distinguishing from uncooked purees
• Label sugar content accurately; exceeding certain thresholds may affect duty rates or require nutritional declarations
• Avoid misclassification as juice by ensuring Brix value and viscosity meet cooked paste criteria; test samples if needed
