Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C and ensure container capacity exceeds 4L with precise documentation
• Use proof liter calculations for duty if rates apply; common pitfall is mislabeling as unflavored wine
• Obtain TTB approval for alcohol imports and label plant flavorings accurately
