Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C is <80% and value ≤$3.43/L with lab certification to qualify for this subheading

Provide detailed proof liter calculations using U.S. standards (50% vol at 15.56°C) for accurate duty assessment

Ensure containers hold ≤4L; larger sizes shift to different subheadings, avoiding common misclassification pitfalls
