Import Tips
• Obtain TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) formula approval and certificate of label approval (COLA) prior to import
• Provide detailed proof analysis at 15.56°C for accurate proof liter duty calculation; common pitfall is misstating alcohol strength
• Declare container size precisely on entry documents to avoid reclassification to lower-capacity subheadings
