Import Tips
• Verify Brix value documentation if concentrated, as per subheading notes for related juices, to confirm not reclassified under lower Brix categories
• Provide lab analysis proving alcohol content ≤0.5% vol to comply with heading 2009 unfermented juice definition
• Label as single-fruit cherry juice to avoid misclassification as a mixed juice under 2009.90
