Import Tips

Obtain TTB approval and COLA prior to importation; ensure lab analysis confirms icewine production from naturally frozen grapes and ABV ≤14%

Declare proof liters accurately using 15.56°C standard; value over $1.05/L triggers this subheading—retain invoices to avoid reclassification

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'late harvest' wine; provide certificates of origin for potential preferential tariff treatment
