Import Tips
• Verify Brix value with lab certification using a refractometer at 20°C to confirm ≤20 and avoid reclassification to higher Brix subheadings
• Provide certificate of analysis showing no added spirit (>0.5% vol) and unfermented status for FDA prior notice
• Label clearly as 'grapefruit juice' with nutritional facts to meet FDA juice HACCP requirements and prevent common misdeclaration pitfalls
