Import Tips
• Provide cold-press process validation to distinguish from pasteurized juices; include enzyme activity tests
• Short shelf life requires temperature-controlled shipping; declare refrigerated status on manifests
• Avoid health claims on invoices that could trigger FDA supplement scrutiny over juice classification
