Import Tips & Compliance
• Include DOC certification but note it doesn't override HTS value-based classification; declare exact ABV
• Use TTB COLA approval for labels pre-import; pitfalls include volume mismeasurement affecting liter valuation
• For proof liter duties, provide density and alcohol content data; bulk shipments need accurate gauging
