Import Tips
• Verify Brix value with certified refractometer readings at 20°C to confirm concentration level and avoid reclassification to lower Brix subheadings
• Provide lab analysis certificates proving single-fruit origin (tart cherry) and no added spirit exceeding 0.5% vol per Chapter 22 note
• Label containers clearly as 'concentrate' to distinguish from single-strength juice, preventing customs disputes on dilution ratios
