Import Tips
• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C exceeds 80% with lab certification to confirm nonbeverage classification
• Provide end-use statement declaring nonbeverage purposes (e.g
• industrial solvent) to avoid beverage duty rates
• Calculate duties on proof liter basis; ensure accurate proof measurement at 15.56°C to prevent CBP adjustments
