Import Tips
• Submit detailed wine analysis reports confirming ABV ≤14% at 20°C and value certification to avoid reclassification
• Label containers clearly with origin, varietal, and volume; watch for proof liter adjustments if strength varies
• Comply with FDA prior notice and ensure no effervescence exceeding definitions to prevent shift to sparkling categories
