Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C does not exceed 14% via lab testing; provide certificates of analysis to CBP
• Ensure container size ≤2L and value ≤$1.05/liter with commercial invoice; duties calculated on proof liter basis
• Avoid misdeclaration as higher-value wine to evade rates; common pitfall is incorrect ABV leading to reclassification
