Import Tips
• Verify Brix value if applicable and ensure labeling indicates 'vegetable juice' without fermentation claims to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificate of analysis confirming no added alcohol and single vegetable origin; common pitfall is mislabeling as fruit juice
• Check for dry weight content if tomato-related to prevent shift to heading 2002
