Import Tips
• Verify Brix value does not exceed limits for juice classification; provide lab analysis if requested by CBP
• Ensure Certificate of Analysis confirms 100% Vaccinium macrocarpon content and no fermentation or added alcohol
• Label clearly as 'cranberry juice' to avoid misclassification; watch for common pitfalls like sugar addition pushing to other subheadings
