Import Tips

• Obtain TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) approval and COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) prior to import; ensure proof determination at 15.56°C for accurate duty calculation on proof liter basis

• Verify container holds over 4 liters to avoid subheading 2208.60.10; common pitfall is mislabeling ABV leading to reclassification
