Import Tips
• Provide TTB formula approval and COA confirming ABV ≤0.5%; pitfall is mislabeling leading to seizure as alcoholic under 2206
• Declare exact volume and proof equivalent even if non-proof rated; use 20°C testing standard
• Check for added flavors/sugars triggering allergen labeling under FDA rules
