Import Tips
• Use descriptive labeling specifying 'satsuma or similar hybrid' to justify mandarin classification and avoid broader citrus headings
• Conduct Brix testing pre-shipment to confirm eligibility and prevent customs disputes over 'other' status
• Include commercial invoices detailing container type (e.g
• glass jar) and preservation method for smooth CBP clearance
