Import Tips
• Verify the exact juice composition via lab analysis to confirm vegetable predominance for 2009.90.20 classification
• Include Brix value declarations if applicable, though not required for mixtures; ensure labels match contents
• Avoid misclassification as fruit-dominant mixtures under 2009.30; retain supplier certificates of analysis
