19.395 - Labels for export spirits.

All bottles containing spirits bottled for export shall have securely affixed thereto a label showing the following: (a) Kind of spirits; (b) Percent-alcohol-by-volume of the spirits; (c) Net contents, unless the markings on the bottle indicate such contents; and (d) The name (or, if desired, the trade name) of the bottler.

The bottler may place on the label any additional information that he may desire if it is not inconsistent with the required information. The label information may be stated in the language of the country to which the spirits are to be exported provided the proprietor maintains on file an English translation of the information. The net contents and proof may be stated in the units of measurement of the foreign country provided the proprietor maintains a record of the equivalent units as they would be required to be expressed if bottled for domestic consumption. The Director may waive the requirement of showing any of the information required by this section, other than the kind of spirits, upon a showing that the country to which the spirits are to be exported prohibits the showing of such information. With respect to kind of spirits, the Director may waive the designation required by 27 CFR 5.22, only to the extent that the label need not bear the word diluted on distilled spirits bottled below the minimum bottling proof, provided this is in accordance with the rules of the countries to which such product is to be exported.
