Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C does not exceed classification thresholds for fermented beverages; provide lab analysis certificates
• Label containers clearly with alcohol content, ingredients, and proof for CBP verification; common pitfall is misdeclaring as non-alcoholic
• Use proof liter calculations for duty assessment; ensure packaging holds ≤4L per unit to qualify for this subheading
