Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit commercial invoices showing per-liter value calculation; undervaluation leads to audits

• Color must be confirmed as red via spectrometry if disputed; grape origin certificates aid verification

• Avoid bulk shipments; ensure retail-ready packaging to prevent classification as grape must
