Import Tips

Obtain certificate of label approval (COLA) from TTB prior to importation and ensure accurate ABV labeling

Provide laboratory analysis confirming alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C and value per liter exceeds $1.05

Declare proof liters accurately for duty calculation; common pitfall is misstating container size or grape origin
