Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit TTB Import Permit and formula for non-beverage or blending use if applicable to reduce duties
• Verify container holds exactly over 4L; CBP measures capacity, mismeasurement leads to reclassification
• Include commercial invoice showing value per liter; high-value brandies need detailed provenance docs
