Import Tips

Document pasteurization and flash-freezing processes to prove it's unfermented juice, not a beverage base

Check for varietal labeling (e.g

Hamlin vs

Valencia) as seasonal differences affect Brix and duty verification

Avoid common pitfall of incomplete Bill of Lading details on container size, leading to exam holds
