Import Tips
• Provide detailed packing list with juice type (e.g
• pineapple or peach) to confirm not single-strength citrus juice
• Ensure child-safe packaging if marketed for family use; FDA labeling rules apply strictly to preserved fruits
• Monitor for mold risks in juice-packed citrus; include stability test results in entry docs
