Import Tips
• Include USP certificate of analysis confirming purity and strength to support nonbeverage pharmaceutical classification
• Declare exact proof at 15.56°C for accurate proof liter duty calculation; mismatches lead to penalties
• Avoid beverage labeling or packaging that could trigger reclassification to Chapter 22 beverage headings
