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
