Import Tips

• Obtain a Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) from TTB prior to importation and ensure all labeling meets FDA and TTB standards for alcohol content and origin

• Provide laboratory analysis confirming alcoholic strength by volume <80% and proof for duty calculation; duties are assessed per proof liter

• Verify valuation exceeds $3.43/liter with commercial invoices to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
