Import Tips
• Declare added sugar percentage accurately; excessive sweetening doesn't change heading but affects drawback claims
• Avoid infant food packaging under 250g to prevent overlap with homogenized notes in 2007.10
• Obtain prior notice via FDA for juice imports; ensure pathogen testing compliance
