Import Tips
• Include manufacturer's declaration of single fruit composition and Brix measurement to prevent disputes at entry
• Ensure aseptic packaging documentation if applicable, as concentrates are prone to microbial checks by customs
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as single-strength; specify 'from concentrate' on invoices
