Import Tips
• Secure state liquor licenses for distribution; federal TTB clearance alone insufficient for U.S. sales
• Inspect keg valves and fittings for compatibility with U.S. systems to prevent import delays
• Provide laboratory analysis of ABV at 20°C to confirm classification and duty basis per chapter notes
