Import Tips
• Submit detailed production process and botanical content to CBP for gin classification verification
• Use approved gauging methods for proof determination; mismatches lead to duty adjustments or seizures
• Label as 'gin' only if juniper dominant—mislabeling risks reclassification to liqueurs
