Import Tips
• Provide lab certification of Brix value (not exceeding 30 in single strength equivalent) and concentration ratio to confirm classification
• Ensure documentation shows no fermentation or added spirit; common pitfall is mislabeling as single-strength juice
• Declare exact sugar content if added; bulk packaging requires proper food safety certifications like FDA prior notice
