• Include botanical identification (Citrus maxima for pomelo) in documentation to distinguish from grapefruit and support classification
• Test for authenticity to avoid disputes, as pomelo juice may be scrutinized for Brix and admixture
• Register for FDA Prior Notice at least 2 hours before arrival, specifying low Brix and retail packing
