Import Tips
• Submit FDA prior notice and ensure labels list 'icewine' per TTB standards, distinguishing from botrytized or late-harvest wines
• Use precise volumetric measurements for containers ≤2L; misstating size can lead to 2204.22 classification for larger formats
• Document grape variety and freeze-harvest date to substantiate icewine status during CBP review
