HS-4 · Heading
2307 — Wine lees; argol
Chapter 23: Residues from food industries
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2307 when importing wine lees or argol, which are by-products from winemaking. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of pressed grape skins and seeds, this code applies.
When classifying your product, note that HS-6 230700 specifically covers both wine lees and argol. If you have a product that contains residues from wine production, this is the correct line to use.
Be aware that while wine lees and argol are closely related, they serve different purposes. Argol is a specific type of tartaric acid deposit, while wine lees are the sediment left after fermentation. Ensure your product aligns with the definitions to avoid classification errors.
