Import Tips

• Declare alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C and calculate proof liters accurately using US Customs formulas to avoid penalties

• Provide lab analysis certificates confirming it's fermented cider (not wine or spirits) and meets <3 bar pressure for non-sparkling

• Label containers with alcohol content, origin, and 'product of' details; watch for common pitfalls like misclassifying as beer (2203)
