Import Tips
• Verify Brix value if over 5.5° to avoid reclassification under 2009.89.25; provide lab analysis certificates
• Ensure labeling specifies single fruit content and no added alcohol; common pitfall is misdeclaring blended juices
• Use FDA prior notice for juice imports; check for pasteurization documentation to meet food safety standards
