Import Tips
• Verify barrel is completely new (never used for liquids) with supplier certification to avoid reclassification as used under 4416.00.90.40
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate for oak wood to comply with ISPM 15 fumigation requirements and prevent pest-related customs holds
• Measure capacity accurately; barrels over 50 liters typically qualify as full cooperage products but document exact dimensions for valuation
