Import Tips
• Provide proof of the whisky's malted barley content and aging process to confirm classification as whisky rather than another spirit
• Ensure the alcohol strength is below 80% vol and the product is not denatured
• Check whether the Indian distillery holds international certifications that may be requested by CBSA for verification
