Import Tips
• Verify vitamin fortification levels meet FDA labeling requirements and provide lab analysis certificates to confirm classification as fortified
• Ensure the product is a true juice mixture (not from concentrate exceeding limits) with documentation showing juice content ratios
• Avoid misclassification as beverage preparations by proving it's primarily juice-based rather than containing dairy or other additives
