Import Tips

• Verify alcoholic strength by volume at 20°C does not exceed 80% and document proof for duty calculation based on proof liter rates

• Include laboratory certificates confirming carbonation levels if effervescent, and ensure containers are ≤4L to avoid reclassification

• Label products clearly as 'premixed cocktails' with full ingredient list to prevent CBP scrutiny on spirit vs. mixed beverage status
