Import Tips
• Verify Brix value does not exceed limits for subheadings like 2009 if applicable, but confirm as preserved fruit under 2008
• Provide commercial invoice detailing net weight, syrup content, and varietal to avoid misclassification as juice
• Ensure FDA prior notice and labeling compliance for retail-packed fruit to prevent detention
