Import Tips & Compliance

Verify USDA or EU organic certification documentation matches the 'certified organic' HTS requirement to avoid reclassification

Provide lab analysis confirming Brix value, unfermented status, and no added spirit; common pitfall is insufficient proof of single-fruit content

Declare net weight accurately and ensure labels specify 'tart cherry juice' for CBP scrutiny on juice authenticity
