Import Tips
• Verify sugar content labeling complies with FDA standards for preserved fruits to avoid reclassification
• Provide commercial invoice detailing net weight, Brix value if applicable, and country of origin for citrus
• Check for pesticide residue certificates as kumquats are citrus and subject to strict import tolerances
