Import Tips
• Verify Brix value and pulp consistency via lab testing to confirm classification under 2008.30, avoiding misclassification as juice in 2009
• Provide certificates of analysis showing no fermentation or added spirit, as per chapter notes for heading 2009 exclusions
• Ensure proper refrigeration during transit to prevent spoilage, which could trigger FDA re-inspection or rejection
