Import Tips

• Verify Brix value with refractometer readings at 20°C to confirm ≤20 and ensure documentation matches HTS criteria

• Provide lab analysis certificates proving no added spirit and unfermented status to avoid reclassification

• Label containers clearly with juice content and Brix for FDA compliance; watch for concentration misrepresentation
