Import Tips
• Obtain TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) approval and COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) prior to importation
• Verify container capacity exceeds 4 liters exactly; mismeasurement can lead to reclassification to smaller container subheadings
• Ensure proper documentation of alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C as per Chapter 22 notes to avoid proof liter duty adjustments
