Amaretto DiSaronno Style Syrup from Germany
Amaretto DiSaronno Style Syrup is a compound alcoholic preparation with 28% alcohol by weight, formulated with almond extract and apricot kernels to replicate the flavour of amaretto liqueur. It is specifically designed for use as a cocktail base or in the manufacture of beverages, not as a flavouring agent based on odoriferous substances. This places it under tariff item 2106.90.96, which covers compound alcoholic preparations for beverage manufacturing with an alcoholic strength exceeding 0.5% by volume.

Import Tips
• Ensure the product is not based on odoriferous substances; if it contains such, it may be reclassified under heading 3302
• Declare the exact alcohol by volume and intended use (beverage manufacturing) to avoid misclassification
• Keep records of the formulation to support the tariff classification if requested by the CBSA
