Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify Brix value documentation using a certified refractometer at 20°C to confirm it meets frozen concentrate standards and avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of analysis showing no fermentation or added alcohol, as exceeding 0.5% vol shifts to Chapter 22
• Label containers clearly with net weight, Brix, and 'frozen concentrate' to prevent delays; bulk packs often face scrutiny for food safety
