Import Tips
• Verify Brix value with lab certification using a refractometer at 20°C to confirm it does not exceed 20, as per subheading notes
• Ensure proper frozen state documentation and temperature-controlled shipping to prevent thawing during transit, which could reclassify it
• Label clearly as 'frozen pineapple juice' and include net weight, avoiding any claims of added spirit to stay within heading 2009
