Import Tips
• Obtain TTB import permit and formula approval if blended; declare origin accurately to avoid AD/CVD checks
• Measure value per liter excluding container cost; common error is overvaluing for reimbursable samples
• Ensure fermentation not arrested by alcohol addition, distinguishing from grape must provisions
