Bulk and bottled shipments can have different requirements. Send the actual container capacity and alcohol content.
Industry expertise
Wine, spirits & beer imports
Plan the entry, the label and the tax documentation together.
Alcohol shipments need more than a tariff number. Kartash helps importers organize TTB and customs information, excise-tax data and the supporting records needed to keep clearance and later refund work aligned.
How Kartash helps
- Customs and TTB entry-data coordination for bottled and bulk beverage alcohol.
- Review of permit, label and product details needed for the proposed shipment.
- Support reconciling entry information with CBMA assignments and refund documentation.
- Coordination for holds, bonded movements and delivery requirements.
Have these details ready
- Commercial invoice showing product, quantity, package size and price.
- Alcohol content, liters and proof information where applicable.
- Importer permit and applicable COLA or exemption details.
- Foreign producer identifiers, country of production and CBMA assignment information if benefits are being claimed.
What to check early
CBMA generally involves full federal excise tax at entry followed by an eligible TTB refund claim; an assignment is not an automatic reduction at entry.
Origin-specific restrictions and additional duties must be checked separately from TTB label approval.
