Import Tips
• Document fruit-to-liquid ratio to prevent reclassification as citrus juice under 2009.12 or 2009.21
• Comply with country-specific import quotas for preserved citrus from major exporters like Spain or Morocco
• Test for added spirit; if over 0.5% vol, shifts to Chapter 22 per note to heading 2009
