Import Tips & Compliance

Label with exact ABV determined at 20°C; discrepancies can lead to duty recalculation or penalties

Use food-grade containers compliant with FDA; inspect for leaks as bulk wine is prone to contamination claims

File with proof gallon equivalents early; under-declaring proof leads to CBP audits
