Import Tips
• Verify sugar content and preservation method in documentation to confirm classification outside specific fruit subheadings
• Provide lab analysis for Brix value if questioned, as mixtures may overlap with other preserved fruit codes
• Label ingredients clearly to avoid reclassification as mixtures under 2008.99.90 if nuts are present
