Import Tips

• Obtain a certificate of analysis confirming alcoholic strength ≤14% vol at 20°C to avoid reclassification to higher-strength subheadings

• Declare proof liters accurately (volume × ABV / 50) as duties are assessed per proof liter; use CBP-approved labs for testing

• Ensure TTB import permit and COLA approval; common pitfall is mislabeling container size leading to wrong subheading
