Import Tips
• Test for effervescence (>0.392g CO2/100ml) to confirm non-sparkling status per U.S. notes
• Use FDA prior notice for bottled wine imports; delays occur without proper facility registration
• Document grape origin for country-of-origin marking; blends may require predominant origin declaration
