Import Tips

Verify the product was obtained by cooking (heat treatment to increase viscosity) as per chapter notes to avoid reclassification to uncooked purees

Include lab analysis or manufacturer affidavit confirming it's a fruit jelly (gel structure from pectin), not a juice or puree

Label net weight, ingredients, and 'fruit jelly' clearly; common pitfall is mislabeling as jam leading to audits
