Import Tips
• Include lab analysis reports proving alcohol percentage to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Comply with TTB labeling if for US beverage production; ensure not pre-diluted beyond concentrate stage
• Watch for common pitfall of declaring as 'flavoring' without specifying beverage end-use, risking Chapter 21 shift
