Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain certification or documentation proving the barrel was previously used to qualify for the 'used' subheading and avoid new barrel rates

• Ensure all components (staves, heads, hoops) are included and clearly marked as knocked down to prevent reclassification as parts

• Check for residue regulations; cleaned barrels may require food safety or hazardous material declarations if traces remain
