Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain documentation from origin to entry to prevent spoilage claims and ensure FDA safety compliance
• Declare exact Brix and concentration history on commercial invoice to avoid sampling delays at ports
• Avoid declaring as 'beverage' which could misroute to Chapter 22; specify as 'juice' per HTS notes
