Last updated: August 2026 dataImported bottled water — whether still, sparkling, mineral, or purified — is regulated by FDA as a packaged food product, with standards of identity distinguishing mineral water, spring water, purified water, and sparkling water at the federal level. Source designation and geographic claims on labels are closely scrutinized; terms like 'mineral water' carry specific compositional requirements under 21 CFR. Importers should note that bottled water from certain origins may face heightened FDA sampling due to prior compliance history, and Prior Notice filing is mandatory before shipment arrival.

Under 21 CFR 165.110, mineral water must contain no less than 250 parts per million total dissolved solids, originate from a geologically and physically protected underground source, and contain a consistent mineral profile. Imported products labeled 'mineral water' that do not meet this standard may be refused admission or required to relabel before sale.
Bottled water itself has not been a primary target of major US trade remedy orders, but PET plastic bottles and aluminum cans used as packaging may be subject to antidumping, countervailing duty, or Section 232 measures depending on origin. Importers should assess packaging component sourcing separately from the water product itself.
