Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify CO2 content exceeds 0.392g/100ml via lab testing at 20°C to confirm effervescent status and avoid reclassification as still wine
• Provide certificate of origin and alcohol content analysis; duties calculated on proof liter basis adjusted for actual proof
• Label bottles with importer details, alcohol by volume, and net contents; common pitfall is improper pressure testing leading to audits
