2204.22.20.45 - White

This HTS classification, 2204.22.20.45, specifically covers **white wine of fresh grapes** that is valued at over $1.05 per liter. These wines fall within the broader category of other wines and grape must where fermentation has been prevented or arrested by the addition of alcohol. The key defining characteristics for this subcategory are its color (white), the type of beverage (wine of fresh grapes), its packaging size (containers holding more than 2 liters but not more than 4 liters), and its alcoholic strength (not over 14 percent alcohol by volume), along with the specified price threshold.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. HTS 2204.22.20.30 pertains to **red wine** under identical packaging and alcoholic strength conditions, while HTS 2204.22.20.60 encompasses all **other types of wine** not specifically classified as red or white, again within the same volume and alcohol parameters. Therefore, the distinction lies solely in the visual characteristic of the wine's color.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this point, based on the cumulative criteria of wine of fresh grapes, fortified wine, packaging size (more than 2 liters but not more than 4 liters), alcoholic strength (not over 14 percent vol), value (over $1.05/liter), and color (white). Importers must ensure all these conditions are met for proper classification under this code.
