Import Tips
• Verify the product meets the 'obtained by cooking' definition via heat treatment documentation to confirm classification in heading 2007
• Provide lab analysis showing no added sugar if declaring under the no-added-sugar provision to avoid reclassification
• Ensure Brix value documentation is available, though not required here, to prevent disputes with similar subheadings
