Import Tips
• Declare exact juice composition and Brix value using refractometer readings at 20°C to meet subheading requirements
• Provide lab analysis confirming alcohol content below 0.5% vol to avoid reclassification under Chapter 22
• Avoid common pitfalls like undeclared added sugars which could trigger FDA prior notice violations
