Import Tips
• Provide end-use certification from buyer stating nonbeverage purpose (e.g
• lab research) to qualify under 2207.10.60
• Accurate proof liter calculation required; declare exact ABV at 20°C as duty scales with proof strength
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as beverage alcohol, which shifts to higher-duty 2208 provisions
