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
