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
