Import Tips
• Ensure origin certificates for grapes to claim preferential tariff treatments under trade agreements like USMCA
• Test for microbial stability to prevent spoilage claims at entry; pasteurization records help
• Avoid bulk packaging over 18L if claiming retail status, as it may trigger reclassification to industrial use
