Import Tips
• Verify sugar content declaration as it affects classification; exceeding certain levels may shift to other subheadings
• Provide commercial invoice detailing fruit type, processing method, and net weight to prevent misclassification as mixtures
• Ensure cans meet FDA food contact standards; common pitfall is inadequate labeling for drained weight
