Import Tips

Obtain TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) approval prior to import; submit formula and label for COLA (Certificate of Label Approval)

Declare exact proof (alcohol content) accurately as duties are calculated per proof liter; provide lab analysis certificates to avoid disputes

Verify container size exceeds 4 liters precisely, as misclassification to smaller container subheadings can lead to penalties
