Conclusions (1)
1) Know the regulations of the country you are exporting to
2) Ensure any practices that you are using are legal in that country
e.g.
3) Due to crop shortages and high fruit prices there have been more
issues with juice adulteration in the last two years than normal
Conclusions (2)
4) Most suppliers are honest, however, there are always a few that
take a flexible view on what is allowed
