Import Tips

• Verify alcoholic strength is below 0.5% vol at 20°C with lab certification to avoid reclassification to alcoholic headings 2203-2206

• Include detailed ingredient lists and nutritional labeling compliant with FDA requirements for non-alcoholic beverages

• Check for common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'juice' which shifts to heading 2009; ensure clear 'soft drink' declaration
