Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C does not exceed 14% with lab certification to avoid reclassification to higher duty subheadings
• Provide detailed proof gallon declarations adjusted to 100 proof equivalent for accurate duty assessment on proof liter basis
• Ensure TTB labeling compliance for COLA approval prior to import; common pitfall is mismatched vintage or varietal claims
