Import Tips

• Verify Brix value with certified refractometer readings at 20°C and include lab certificates in documentation to confirm compliance with non-concentration rules

• Label containers clearly with product name, Brix value, and 'not from concentrate' to meet FDA food labeling standards and prevent CBP reclassification

• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete concentration history documentation, which can lead to duties under higher concentrated subheadings
