Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify Brix value using refractometer at 20°C to confirm it doesn't qualify for higher Brix subheadings like 2009.61 or 2009.62
• Provide lab analysis proving no fermentation or added spirit (alcohol <0.5% vol) to avoid reclassification to Chapter 22
• Ensure packaging labels specify 'frozen concentrate' and net weight for retail reconstitution to meet heading 2009 criteria
