Import Tips

• Verify proof liter value using U.S

• Customs formula (alcohol % at 15.56°C) to ensure under $3 threshold; provide lab analysis certificates

• Include Certificate of Origin and distillation proof documents; common pitfall is miscalculating proof leading to reclassification

• Label bottles with alcohol content and 'Product of [Country]' per TTB requirements before FDA clearance
