Import Tips
• Document juice extraction process to prove residue status; whole fruit remnants go to Chapter 08
• Check for essential oil residues which could trigger fumigation requirements or flavoring classification
• Use phytosanitary certificates confirming treatment for citrus pests like Mediterranean fruit fly
