Import Tips
• Document Brix value of syrup (typically >14° for heavy) as it may affect valuation but not classification here
• Ensure child-resistant packaging if marketed for households, per CPSC rules for food cans
• Avoid misdeclaration of origin; Asian-sourced pears common, require accurate CO documentation
