Import Tips
• 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
