Import Tips
• Test for exact alcoholic strength at 20°C as per Chapter 22 notes to confirm <80% vol classification
• Package in food-grade containers compliant with FDA secondary labeling for alcohol imports
• Beware of reclassification risks if botanical infusion suggests 'liqueur' status—consult TTB rulings
