2204.21.50.05 - Red

This HTS category, 2204.21.50.05, specifically classifies red wine of fresh grapes that has an alcoholic strength by volume not exceeding 14 percent. This wine is presented in containers holding two liters or less and is valued at not over $1.05 per liter. The "Red" designation is the primary differentiating factor within this granular classification level, indicating the wine's color derived from the grape skins during the fermentation process.

Distinguished from its siblings, this category excludes white wines (2204.21.50.15) and other wines that do not fit the "red" or "white" specific criteria (2204.21.50.25). All these sibling categories fall under the broader umbrella of "Other wine" with fermentation prevented or arrested by alcohol, in containers of two liters or less, with an alcoholic strength not exceeding 14 percent, and valued at not over $1.05 per liter.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the specific characteristics that define this particular type of red wine for customs purposes. Importers and exporters should ensure the product meets all stated criteria, including the volume limitations, alcoholic strength, value threshold, and the defining characteristic of being a red wine.
