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
