Shipping wine to the United States may seem like a complex task, but with the right knowledge and correct documents, it becomes a feasible operation for both businesses and individuals. In this article, we will explore all the necessary steps to ship wine to the USA without worries, with a focus on our DVA Wine service designed to simplify this process.
The United States has stringent regulations on wine imports, setting it apart from many other countries. Before shipping, ensure that the merchandise is eligible for importation into the USA. Companies must register the product with the FDA at least 5 days before shipment, ensuring labeling compliance with regulations. Label registration with the TTB is equally essential. Shipments will face customs duties, sales taxes, and other fees from U.S. customs.
To ship wine to the USA, you must prepare various documents in English, including:
These documents must be carefully completed and included in a document pouch attached to the package.
The bill of lading should include details of the sender and recipient, along with detailed information about the merchandise and customs compliance. The commercial invoice should include complete sender and recipient details, shipping information, and merchandise details.
Prior Notice is essential for the U.S. importation of food products, including wine. This document requires information about the exporting company and must be filled out and signed correctly.
U.S. customs requires unique HS codes to accurately identify products. Customs duties and taxes depend on the HS code, quantity, and value of the goods. For commercial shipments, duties and charges are borne by the recipient, calculated based on the terms of sale.
Whether for commercial shipments or sending wine to individuals in the USA, an import license is required.
