Import Tips
• Confirm no dry weight exceeds 7% for tomatoes to avoid Chapter Note reclassification to heading 2002
• Provide detailed ingredient ratios on commercial invoice to justify vegetable mixture status
• Label as 'vegetable juice' clearly; test for fermentation to ensure <0.5% alcohol per Chapter 22 note
