Import Tips
• Verify fortification levels with lab analysis certificates to confirm classification under 2106.90.48.00 rather than plain juice in 2009
• Include detailed ingredient labels and vitamin addition proofs in documentation to avoid reclassification by customs
• Check for country-specific quotas or restrictions on processed fruit juices, even if not directly applicable here
