Import Tips
• File TTB notice 3 days prior to arrival with proof analysis; distillation method may be authorized if standard testing fails
• Label containers clearly for commercial bulk; retail labeling not required but origin cert helps
• Watch for reclassification if blended >50% neutral spirits—remains Kirschwasser if cherry dominant
