Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2204.22Same rate: 20%

If higher value or strength

Wines valued over $1.05/L or >14% ABV classify in premium subheadings like 2204.22.45.

2206.00.15Same rate: 20%

If fortified beyond heading limits

Vermouth or other aperitifs with added flavors/alcohol fall under 2206, not plain grape wines.

If red wine instead of white

Color determines subheading; red wines go to 2204.22.60+ even if identical otherwise.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Document grape origin and fermentation details; 'fresh grapes' requires proof not from concentrate

• Avoid common pitfall of under-declaring value—CBP uses transaction value or computed value methods

• For bag-in-box, ensure inner bladder doesn't exceed total volume limit to stay in 2-4L subheading
