Import Tips
• Label bottles with organic certification seals and include Certificate of Analysis for ABV and value verification
• Declare exact proof for duty calculation, as rates are per proof liter adjusted for actual alcohol content
• Ensure containers are under 2L total; larger formats shift to different subheadings
