Import Tips

Verify USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation to meet 'certified organic' subheading requirements and prevent CBP reclassification

Include lab analysis confirming alcoholic strength by volume ≤0.5% at 20°C as per chapter notes to qualify as non-alcoholic

Label clearly as 'almond-based drink' not juice to avoid disputes under heading 2009; declare exact composition to sidestep common pitfalls
