Import Tips
• Submit Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) from TTB prior to entry; missing docs delay clearance
• Declare exact container volume; oversize cans risk reclassification to higher-duty bulk headings
• Test for effervescence per US notes if borderline sparkling; malt beer typically non-carbonated beyond norms
