Import Tips
• Document grape origin and fermentation details; 'fresh grapes' requires proof not from concentrate
• Avoid common pitfall of under-declaring value—CBP uses transaction value or computed value methods
• For bag-in-box, ensure inner bladder doesn't exceed total volume limit to stay in 2-4L subheading
