Import Tips & Compliance
• Label accurately with sugar content to distinguish from unsweetened peel and avoid disputes over subheading 2008.30.25
• Include commercial invoice detailing peel origin (e.g
• mandarin variety) and processing method for smooth CBP review
• Test for microbial contamination as candied products can harbor mold; provide lab results to expedite FDA clearance
