Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify proof content via lab testing at 15.56°C as duties are assessed per proof liter; ensure certificate of origin confirms Scottish production
• Provide TTB formula approval and COLA prior to import; common pitfall is mislabeling age statements leading to reclassification
• Declare exact ABV and volume accurately to avoid penalties; use bonded warehouse for high-duty spirits
