Import Tips & Compliance

Provide proof of use in food/beverage industry to qualify for potential duty reductions under agricultural programs

Ensure packaging prevents breakage, as glass hydrometers are fragile and damage claims are common pitfalls

Declare scale range (e.g

0-35° Brix) accurately to match HTS description and avoid reclassification
