Import Tips
• Verify Brix value documentation if concentrated, as per subheading notes for related citrus juices, to confirm not qualifying for lower-duty fresh categories
• Ensure certificate of analysis proves single-fruit origin (lemons only) and frozen state to avoid reclassification as mixtures under 2009.89
