Import Tips

Verify USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation to ensure compliance with HTS 2009.89.70.95; mismatched certs can lead to reclassification

Include lab analysis confirming no added spirit (under 0.5% vol) and Brix value suitable for juice classification on commercial invoice

Check for proper labeling as 'coconut water' not 'beverage' to avoid scrutiny; common pitfall is misdeclaring sweetened variants
