Import Tips
• Provide evidence of prior wine use (e.g
• winery receipts) to substantiate 'used' status during customs valuation
• Label packages clearly as 'KD used hogshead components' to facilitate inspection and avoid duties on assembled goods
• Be aware of phytosanitary certificates if wood origin requires treatment against pests
