Import Tips
• Provide certificate of analysis for sugar content and flavors to confirm fit under 'containing added sugar or other sweetening matter'
• Ensure packaging distinguishes from juices; use 'beverage' terminology to align with 2202 hierarchy
• Watch for seasonal organic certifier variations; pre-clear with CBP rulings to avoid delays on organic claims
