2204.29.61.00 - Of an alcoholic strength by volume not over 14 percent vol.

This HTS classification, 2204.29.61.00, specifically designates still wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines, and grape must where fermentation has been prevented or arrested by the addition of alcohol, that has an alcoholic strength not exceeding 14 percent by volume. This category encompasses a wide range of table wines, dessert wines, and other grape-based beverages that fall within this particular alcohol content threshold.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling category, 2204.29.81.00, which covers "Other wine; grape must with fermentation prevented or arrested by the addition of alcohol: Other: Of an alcoholic strength by volume over 14 percent vol." The sole defining criterion for differentiation at this level is the precise alcoholic strength by volume. Wines with an alcohol content exceeding 14 percent by volume would be classified under the sibling heading, regardless of other characteristics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this point is final based on the product's nature as wine of fresh grapes (or grape must treated with alcohol) and its specific alcoholic strength by volume not exceeding 14 percent. Importers and exporters must accurately determine and declare the alcohol content to ensure correct classification and compliance with customs regulations.
