Import Tips
• Provide supplier affidavits confirming no concentration step exceeded 1.5 degrees to support classification and avoid audits
• Ensure net weight declarations match actual content and comply with FDA juice HACCP regulations for pathogen control
• Watch for misdeclaration as grapefruit juice, as pomelo falls under the same subheading but requires precise botanical identification
