Import Tips
• Verify Brix value if sweetened; prune juice remains classified here regardless unless homogenized for infants under 250g containers
• Provide certificate of analysis confirming no added spirit (>0.5% vol) and unfermented status to avoid reclassification to Chapter 22
• Label clearly as 'prune juice' with nutritional facts; common pitfall is misdeclaring as mixed juice, triggering higher duties
