Import Tips
• Verify the mixture composition does not qualify for single-fruit subheadings like 2008.91; ensure airtight containers meet food safety standards
• Provide lab analysis for liquid medium content to avoid reclassification
• Label net weight and ingredients accurately to comply with FDA requirements
