Import Tips

• Submit TTB formula approval if any non-traditional distillation methods are used, though pure mezcal typically doesn't require it

• Use bonded warehouse storage to defer duties; track proof gallons precisely to avoid CBP penalties

• Ensure bottles meet FDA glass container standards; pitfall is failing state-specific alcohol import permits
