Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify CO2 content exceeds 0.392g/100ml via lab testing to confirm effervescent status and avoid reclassification as still wine
• Provide certificate of origin and alcohol content label; duties calculated on proof liter basis adjusted for actual proof
• Check TTB labeling approvals pre-import to prevent holds; common pitfall is misstating effervescence level
