Import Tips
• Verify Brix value if sweetened; ensure it meets unfermented standards under 0.5% alcohol to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificate of analysis confirming no added spirit and dry weight under 7% to distinguish from heading 2002 concentrates
• Label clearly as 'tomato juice' with nutritional info; common pitfall is mislabeling as sauce leading to higher duties
