Import Tips
• Verify pulp moisture content to avoid reclassification as juice under 2009; provide lab analysis certificates confirming it's pulp not juice
• Ensure labeling distinguishes from retail infant food to prevent overlap with homogenized subheadings
• Check for any added preservatives that might trigger spirit-related exclusions
