2204.22.20.05 - Red

This HTS classification covers red wine derived from fresh grapes, specifically in bulk or containers holding more than 2 liters but not exceeding 10 liters, and further narrowed down to those in containers of more than 2 liters but not exceeding 4 liters. The wine must have an alcoholic strength by volume not exceeding 14 percent and be valued at $1.05 per liter or less. This specific designation is critical for determining the correct tariff rate and any applicable duties or trade regulations.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 2204.22.20.15 covers white wine that meets the same volume and valuation criteria. The sibling category 2204.22.20.25, "Other," encompasses red and white wines that fall outside the specific color designations or other potentially specialized classifications within this broader heading. The primary differentiator here is the color of the wine itself, red, alongside the specified container size, alcoholic strength, and unit value.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2204.22.20.05. The classification is fully defined at this level, meaning that any red wine from fresh grapes that meets the criteria for container size (2-4 liters), alcoholic strength (not over 14% vol), and value (not over $1.05/liter) will be classified here. If the wine were to exceed the 14% vol strength or the $1.05/liter value, or be packaged in different sized containers, it would fall under a different HTS code.
