iii) Labeling Approval

All alcoholic beverages exported to the
United States must irst go through
labeling product formulation approval.

As mentioned earlier, this is a step in
which your importer should be able
to assist you. It is important to allow
3 months to achieve approval, which
should be sought through

It is important to know that products
governed by an EU Geographic Indicator
(GI) (Eg Poitin, Irish Whiskey and Irish
Cream Liqueur)are exempt from the
product formulation stage of this
approval process, and therefore approval
can be achieved sooner in many cases..
However, labeling approval is a step
required for all products.
