Import Tips
• Verify fortification levels and provide lab analysis certificates to confirm vitamins/minerals content for compliance
• Ensure labeling specifies 'fortified' and single fruit source; avoid mixed juices to prevent reclassification
• Check for pesticide residues common in citrus; obtain phytosanitary certificates to avoid FDA holds
