Import Tips
• Verify sparkling status with lab test confirming ≥3 bars CO2 pressure at 20°C to avoid reclassification as still wine
• Document value per liter precisely; include proof liter adjustments if alcoholic strength varies from 100 proof equivalent
• Obtain TTB approval and COLA for labeling; common pitfall is insufficient grape origin certification
