Import Tips
• Conduct Brix value testing if syrup-heavy to ensure it doesn't mimic juice concentrates under heading 2009
• Label clearly as 'mixture' with citrus declaration to prevent disputes over primary fruit content
• Beware of seasonal grapefruit origin restrictions (e.g
• from certain countries) that could trigger additional quarantines
