Import Tips
• Include FDA prior notice and HACCP plan for juice imports to avoid holds; frozen concentrates are high-risk for pathogens
• Test for citric acid levels and provide reconstitution instructions to distinguish from single-strength juice
• Use insulated shipping to maintain frozen state below -6°C, as thawing could lead to reclassification or spoilage claims
