Import Tips
• Use denatured alcohol proofs to avoid beverage excise taxes; provide denaturation certificates
• Batch testing for alcohol percentage is crucial; discrepancies can lead to reclassification and duties
• Package in industrial drums, not consumer bottles, to reinforce raw material status
