Import Tips

• Obtain a federal permit from TTB for importing distilled spirits and ensure label approval before shipment

• Calculate duties based on proof liters (alcohol content at 15.56°C); provide lab analysis certificates for ABV verification

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling country of origin or failing to declare exact volume, which can delay clearance
