Import Tips
• Provide brewery certification confirming non-alcoholic status; CBP often tests samples
• Ensure invoices specify 'aluminum containers' and volume; bulk shipments risk reclass to 2202.91.0090
• Comply with FDA beverage labeling for ingredients and nutrition; pitfalls include undeclared sweeteners
