2204.10.00.30 - Valued not over $1.59/liter

This HTS subcategory, 2204.10.00.30, specifically covers sparkling wine made from fresh grapes, including fortified sparkling wines and grape must that is not classified under heading 2009. The defining characteristic for this classification is its valuation, which is not over $1.59 per liter. This means that the declared value of the sparkling wine at the point of import must be at or below this threshold to fall within this specific code.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2204.10.00.60, by this precise valuation criterion. While both subcategories pertain to sparkling wine, the higher valuation threshold determines inclusion in the sibling category. Therefore, the key differentiator between these two classifications for sparkling wine is its per-liter price, impacting the duty rates and trade reporting requirements.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Classification is finalized at this level based on the product being sparkling wine derived from fresh grapes and its declared value not exceeding $1.59 per liter. This level of detail is crucial for accurate customs declarations, duty assessment, and trade statistics compilation.
