2205 — Vermouth and other wine of fresh grapes, flavoured with plants or aromatic substances
Chapter 22: Beverages, spirits and vinegar
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2205 when importing or exporting vermouth and other wines made from fresh grapes that are flavored with plants or aromatic substances. For example, if you're shipping a case of vermouth in 750ml bottles, this code applies.
When deciding between the two subheadings under HS-4 2205, consider the container size. HS-6 220510 is for products in containers holding 2 litres or less, while HS-6 220590 is for those in containers exceeding 2 litres. If your shipment includes a 1.5-litre bottle of flavored wine, use 220510.
If your product comes in a larger format, such as a 3-litre bag-in-box of flavored wine, you should classify it under HS-6 220590. Understanding these distinctions helps avoid misclassification and potential customs issues.
