Import Tips
• Provide Brix measurement reports from an accredited lab to customs, ensuring reading is corrected to 20°C
• Use insulated containers with temperature logs to maintain frozen state, as partial thawing risks reclassification to unfrozen juice
• Avoid any preservatives that could imply added spirit; declare as pure juice for accurate duty assessment
