Import Tips
• Submit organic equivalency certificates if from non-USDA countries to validate 'certified organic' for US import
• Test and document CO2 content if aerated to ensure not misread as effervescent under other notes
• Avoid bulk packaging labeled as 'concentrate' to prevent reclassification as a juice product
