2206.00.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 2206.00.90, encompasses "Other" fermented beverages, mixtures thereof, and mixtures of fermented beverages with non-alcoholic beverages, which are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 2206.00. This broad category is designed to capture a wide array of products that undergo fermentation but do not fit into more specific subheadings, such as effervescent wines. It serves as a residual category for fermented beverages and their mixtures that do not have a more precise classification.

Unlike the sibling category 2206.00.60 for effervescent wine, this classification is for fermented beverages that are not effervescent, or for mixtures that do not primarily consist of effervescent wine. It also covers fermented beverages produced from a variety of raw materials beyond those typically associated with wine, cider, perry, mead, or sakè, provided they are not elsewhere specified. The key distinguishing factor is the absence of a more specific subheading description within heading 2206.00 that accurately describes the product.

The subcategories for 2206.00.90 further refine the classification of these "Other" items. One subdivision addresses mixtures of fermented beverages and non-alcoholic beverages that are ready for consumption in their packaged form, specifically those in containers holding not more than 4 liters. The other subdivision, also labeled "Other," serves as a residual for any remaining items within the scope of 2206.00.90 that do not meet the criteria for the ready-to-drink mixture classification. This structure ensures that all products falling under the general scope of other fermented beverages and their mixtures are appropriately categorized.
