Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify Brix value with lab testing using a refractometer at 20°C to confirm ≤20 and avoid misclassification to higher Brix subheadings
• Provide certificates of analysis showing no fermentation or added spirit, and detail concentration process to meet heading 2009 requirements
• Ensure proper cold chain documentation during import to prevent thawing, which could reclassify it as non-frozen juice
