Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alcoholic strength ≤0.5% vol at 20°C via lab testing; exceedance shifts to heading 2203

Include Certificate of Analysis for ABV and CO2 content; aluminum containers must be clearly specified in entry docs

Avoid misclassification as 'near beer' without proof; common pitfall is failing to declare container material
