Import Tips
• Specify char level in documentation; uncharred = 4416.00, charred #3/#4 typically 4418.40 - get ruling if unclear
• Include TTB (Alcohol Tobacco Tax Bureau) end-use statement if direct-to-distillery import to support valuation
• Measure head diameter precisely; quarter casks under 53 gallons avoid some capacity-based regulations
