Import Tips
• Submit certificate of origin proving Armagnac status but note it remains 'other brandy' due to bulk form
• Calculate duties precisely using Treasury proof methods; discrepancies lead to penalties
• Declare exact container capacities; over 4L triggers this subheading even for premium origins
