What is “certification” or imported wine?
Certification is a statement that the practices and procedures used to produce the imported wine constitute proper cellar treatment. Certification may consist of a statement from the producing country’s government, or government-approved entity having oversight or control of enological practices. This form of certification includes the results of a laboratory analysis of the wine performed by either a government laboratory or a laboratory certified by the government of the producing country. Certification may also be in the form of a statement from the importer, that is, a self-certification.
