Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the mixture explicitly contains oranges or grapefruit via lab analysis or supplier certification to qualify under this specific subheading
• Ensure airtight containers meet food safety standards (e.g
• FDA canning regulations) and include proper labeling for liquid medium content and Brix value if applicable
• Avoid misclassification by confirming no added spirit exceeds 0.5% vol, as per Chapter 22 notes, to prevent shifting to beverage headings
