2204.21.80.60 - Other

This HTS category, 2204.21.80.60, classifies "Other" wines of fresh grapes, specifically those that are not fortified with alcohol and are packaged in containers holding 2 liters or less. This broad category encompasses a wide array of wines that fall outside of more specific classifications at this level. For example, it includes wines that are neither sherry nor other specifically defined fortified wines, but still meet the general criteria of being derived from fresh grapes and having an alcoholic strength by volume exceeding 14 percent vol.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling, 2204.21.80.30, which is exclusively for Sherry. Sherry, a fortified wine, has distinct production methods and characteristics that warrant its separate classification. Therefore, any wine of fresh grapes, in containers of 2 liters or less, and exceeding 14 percent alcohol by volume, that is not a Sherry, will be classified under this "Other" designation.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. The classification concludes at this level for wines fitting the specified criteria. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the origin, alcoholic strength, and packaging of their grape wines to ensure accurate classification, particularly when determining if a wine fits the "Other" category after excluding specific types like Sherry.
