Overview

This HTS subcategory, 2205.90.40.00, specifically classifies vermouth and other wines of fresh grapes that have been flavored with plants or aromatic substances, when these products are presented in containers with a capacity exceeding 4 liters. This classification applies to bulk packaging intended for distribution or further processing.

It is crucial to distinguish this subcategory from its sibling, 2205.90.20.00, which covers similar flavored wines but in smaller containers ranging from over 2 liters up to and including 4 liters. The distinguishing factor for 2205.90.40.00 is solely the volume of the individual retail or bulk container, which must be greater than 4 liters.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, correct classification relies on accurately determining that the product is indeed vermouth or other similarly flavored wine of fresh grapes and confirming that the container volume unequivocally exceeds 4 liters. Examples would include large format bottles, demijohns, or bulk tanks designated for sale in quantities over this specified volume.
