Import Tips
• Verify Brix value using refractometer at 20°C to confirm classification under 2009.79; readings above specific subheadings may shift to alternatives
• Provide certificate of analysis showing no fermentation or added spirit exceeding 0.5% vol, and list sugar content accurately
• Avoid misdeclaration as single-strength juice; concentrates often face different duties—include production process documentation
