Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C via lab testing for accurate proof liter duty calculation
• Provide certificate of label approval (COLA) from TTB and ensure compliance with FDA labeling for non-organic status
• Avoid misclassification by confirming container size ≤2L and value >$1.05/L to prevent duty adjustments
