Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength is below 0.5% vol. per Chapter Note to avoid reclassification to alcoholic headings 2203-2206
• Provide lab analysis certificates confirming fortification with vitamins/minerals and juice mixture composition to support 2202.99.3700 classification
• Label products clearly with ingredients and nutritional info; common pitfall is insufficient documentation leading to delays
