Import Tips
• Verify Brix value if applicable, though not required for this subheading; ensure declaration matches single fruit content
• Provide certificate of analysis confirming no added spirit and unfermented status to avoid reclassification
• Label net weight and ingredients clearly; common pitfall is misdeclaring mixed juices leading to penalties
