Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C via lab testing to confirm classification as fermented beverage over 0.5% vol
• Prepare proof liter documentation using U.S. standards (50% ethyl alcohol at 15.56°C) for accurate duty assessment
• Avoid misclassification as fruit juice by providing fermentation process certificates; common pitfall is undervaluation
