Import Tips
• Include sterilization certificates and net weight declarations per container to comply with subheading notes
• Label clearly as 'pulp' not 'puree' if containing visible fibers to differentiate from homogenized infant foods
• Check for papaya origin restrictions; some countries require phytosanitary certificates for fruit products
