Import Tips
• Verify Brix value if applicable to ensure not classified under higher-Brix subheadings like 2009 for juices
• Provide lab analysis for sugar content and ensure labeling complies with FDA food import rules
• Avoid misclassification as juice by confirming fruit pieces are predominant, not liquid extract
