Import Tips
• Verify sugar content documentation to confirm cane/beet sugar presence, as this determines the subheading
• Include commercial invoice detailing net weight, Brix value if applicable, and country of origin for pineapple
• Avoid misclassification as juice by ensuring it's solid fruit pieces, not liquid extract
