HTS heading 2204 is a broad product category for wine made from fresh grapes, including fortified wine, and certain grape must (unfermented grape juice) that is not covered by heading 2009. It groups products by their basic identity as grape wine or qualifying grape must, rather than by brand or marketing name.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTS code, start with the product’s objective characteristics and then follow the subheadings and tariff-line descriptions under heading 2204. The code may distinguish factors such as wine type, alcohol content, container size, or other specified product features. “Material or type” means the composition and physical form that customs uses for classification—not simply the product’s label or commercial name. Confirm the complete 8-digit description and any applicable statistical suffixes in the current HTS, and seek customs-broker advice when the facts are unclear.
What to check
- Confirm that the product is made from fresh grapes and is not a different beverage, grape juice product, or preparation classified elsewhere.
- Document whether the product is still or sparkling, fortified, or an unfermented grape must, and record its alcohol content and production method.
- Check the imported product’s container type and capacity, because tariff lines may separate products using packaging or size distinctions.
- Read every subheading and tariff-line qualification under 2204; do not select a code based only on the heading title or a similar product listing.
- Match the code to commercial documents, labels, specifications, and laboratory or producer records, and obtain a binding classification ruling or broker review if classification remains uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
