2206.00.90.15 - In aluminum containers

This HTS subcategory, 2206.00.90.15, specifically covers other fermented beverages, or mixtures of fermented beverages and non-alcoholic beverages, that are ready for consumption as packaged. The defining characteristic of this classification is the packaging: these beverages must be presented in aluminum containers. This includes a wide array of products such as hard ciders, perries, meads, sakès, and pre-mixed alcoholic beverages, provided they meet the established criteria and are not elsewhere specified.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2206.00.90.25, by the specific packaging material. While 2206.00.90.25 covers "Other" fermented beverages and mixtures not in aluminum containers, this subcategory is exclusively for those presented in aluminum. This focus on the container material is a key differentiator for accurate customs classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2206.00.90.15. Therefore, classification within this code is final, provided the product meets all other criteria of Chapter 22, specifically the requirement of being in aluminum containers and packaged for retail sale in containers not exceeding 4 liters.
