Import Tips
• Submit Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) from TTB; mismatched importer statements lead to entry refusals
• Calculate duties using actual ABV and volume at 20°C, prorated from 100 proof rates per U.S. notes
• Avoid bulk shipments misdeclared as retail bottles to prevent reclassification and penalties
