Import Tips
• Label with exact Brix value measured at 20°C using refractometer, as per subheading notes for accurate duty assessment
• Include FDA prior notice and facility registration to comply with food import regulations
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 'jam' under 2007 if no cooking increases viscosity beyond pulp state
