Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify ABV exceeds 0.5% vol per Chapter notes to confirm classification in 2203, not 2202 non-alcoholic beverages
• Calculate duties on proof liter basis if applicable; provide lab analysis for alcohol strength at 20°C
• Ensure TTB labeling compliance for imported beer; common pitfall is mismatched container declarations over 4L
