Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide proof of freezing process not involving fermentation; lab tests for alcohol content under 0.5% vol are essential
• Check for dry weight if resembling tomato-like concentrates, but blueberry doesn't trigger 2002 reclassification
• Use insulated shipping to maintain frozen state; declare net weight accurately to avoid valuation disputes
