Import Tips
• Ensure FDA prior notice filing for juice imports; test for pathogens as low-acid juices require specific controls
• Provide proof of Brix and concentration via supplier specs or independent lab report to avoid duty disputes
• Watch for sugar addition labeling; if sweetened, confirm it doesn't alter Brix classification
