2204.22.20.30 - Red

This HTS classification, 2204.22.20.30, specifically designates red wine of fresh grapes. It encompasses red wines that are not fortified, including those where fermentation has been prevented or arrested through the addition of alcohol. These wines must be presented in containers with a volume exceeding 2 liters but not surpassing 10 liters. Further refinement dictates that the containers must hold more than 2 liters but not exceed 4 liters, and the alcoholic strength by volume must not be over 14 percent. Finally, the value of these red wines must be greater than $1.05 per liter.

This category is distinct from its sibling categories primarily by its color. While 2204.22.20.45 covers white wines under identical volume, alcoholic strength, and value parameters, this classification is exclusively for red wines. The sibling category 2204.22.20.60, "Other," is reserved for wines that do not fit the specific color criteria of "Red" or "White," or potentially for other wine types not explicitly defined within the same parent level.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node in the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, signifying that imported or exported goods meeting all the described criteria, including being red wine, within the specified container volumes, alcoholic strength, and value, will be classified under this specific code.
