Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C does not exceed 14% and value exceeds $1.05/liter with lab analysis certificates
• Ensure container size is precisely 2-4 liters; use CBP-approved proofing methods for duty calculation on proof liter basis
• Provide TTB import permits and avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling origin or failing to declare exact ABV on entry docs
