Import Tips
• Ensure import documentation specifies 'naturally brewed' to avoid scrutiny as artificially flavored under other subheadings
• Test for alcohol content from fermentation; levels above trace may require additional ATF labeling if applicable
• Use tamper-evident packaging to meet retail food import safety standards and prevent contamination claims
