Import Tips
• Include production process affidavits confirming 'not from concentrate' to prevent disputes with customs
• Test for microbial activity to prove unfermented; common pitfall is reclassification to mixtures if blending detected
• Ensure net weight declarations and child-safety packaging if marketed for infants to meet import standards
