Import Tips
• Verify Brix value documentation from the manufacturer to confirm concentration ≤3.5 degrees, as measured at 20°C per subheading notes
• Ensure labels clearly state 'not from concentrate' and include ingredient lists to comply with FDA juice HACCP regulations
• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying lightly sweetened versions; test for added sugar content to prevent reclassification
