Import Tips
• Secure TTB import permit and COLA; include origin certificates for protected designations like 'Slivovitz' if applicable
• Document proof via distillation test at 20°C for accurate duty on proof liters; expect higher rates for strengths near 80%
• Avoid bulk shipments without retail packaging to prevent misclassification as industrial alcohol under 2207.10
