Import Tips

• Declare proof liters accurately using TTB-approved methods at 15.56°C; duties scale with proof strength relative to 100 proof

• Obtain Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) formula approval and ensure COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) before import

• Avoid misclassification as vodka by verifying predominant juniper flavor; common pitfall is incomplete botanical disclosure
