Import Tips & Compliance

Include end-use statement if for winemaking to preempt questions, but note classification is based on product state, not intent

Monitor for natural fermentation during thaw; provide stability tests showing alcohol remains under 0.5% vol

Use insulated shipping to maintain frozen state through customs, as partial thawing could trigger reclassification
