Import Tips
• Submit TTB import permit and ensure whiskey meets 'straight' criteria (e.g
• no additives, age statement if applicable)
• Use certified lab testing for ethyl alcohol content to prevent duty disputes on proof liter basis
• Avoid common error of insufficient bonding; bulk spirits require continuous CBP bond
