Import Tips
• Obtain APHIS/USDA organic equivalence determination for non-US certifiers to validate EU organic claims
• Provide Brix refractometer readings calibrated to 20°C as per subheading note for accurate classification
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 'sweetened' if only minimal preservatives present; declare sugar content precisely
