Import Tips
• Obtain Certificate of Age and Origin (COO) for bourbons to verify distillation and aging in US-compliant barrels
• Calculate duties on proof liter basis (proof = ABV * 2); provide lab analysis of alcoholic strength at 20°C
• Avoid misclassification as Scotch by confirming non-Scottish origin; TTB approval required pre-import
