Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength at 20°C per chapter notes; exceeding 14% vol. requires reclassification to higher ABV subheading
• Include production affidavits confirming natural freeze concentration—no artificial freezing allowed for icewine status
• Watch for undervaluation penalties; CBP often audits high-value icewines for accurate $1.05/L threshold
