Import Tips
• Provide sodium content lab reports to support health claims and avoid misclassification as a different preparation
• Use tamper-evident seals on cans to demonstrate airtight integrity at customs
• Avoid common pitfall of under-declaring sugar content, which requires precise Brix measurement per notes
