Import Tips
• Verify Brix value using refractometer at 20°C to confirm concentration and ensure it doesn't qualify as single strength under 2009.71
• Provide certificate of analysis showing no fermentation or added alcohol exceeding 0.5% vol
• Maintain cold chain documentation to prove frozen state upon import and avoid reclassification as unfrozen
