Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain Certificate of Origin for preferential duty treatment under USMCA; verify stave origin as oak from specific regions affects classification
• Comply with TTB labeling if destined for alcohol aging; ensure no inner plastic lining to stay in 4416 vs heading 3923
• Declare exact capacity in liters on entry; common pitfall is undervaluing based on used condition without repair documentation
