Import Tips
• Use laboratory certification for alcoholic strength at 20°C to match chapter note requirements during entry
• Declare exact container capacities; variances can trigger reclassification to retail subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of miscalculating proof gallons/liters—use 15.56°C standard per U.S. notes
