Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify Brix value ≤20 via refractometer at 20°C and confirm no concentration history over 1.5 degrees with supplier certificates
• Comply with FDA juice HACCP regulations; provide microbial testing and pasteurization records to avoid holds
• Label accurately as 'not from concentrate' to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is incomplete concentration documentation
