Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide TTB formula approval and proof gallon declarations, as duties are proof liter-based adjusted for actual alcohol content
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no over 0.5% ABV non-spirit labeling, which could misclassify as non-alcoholic under 2202
• Test for excess pressure if carbonated; sparkling wine rules don't apply but effervescent notes may require clarification
