Import Tips

• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C via lab testing to confirm ≤14% ABV and obtain certificate of analysis for CBP entry

• Provide detailed value declaration per liter; undervaluation leads to penalties—use commercial invoice with FOB pricing

• Ensure TTB COLA approval pre-import; label with origin, varietal if claimed, and sulfite content to avoid detention
