2208.20.10.00 - Pisco and singani

This HTS category specifically classifies "Pisco and singani." Pisco is a grape brandy originating from Peru and Chile, produced by distilling fermented grape must. Singani is a unique Bolivian spirit also derived from distilling fermented grape must, typically from the Muscat of Alexandria grape variety. Both are characterized by their distinct aromatic profiles and are primarily consumed as standalone spirits or used in cocktails.

While the parent category encompasses spirits obtained by distilling grape wine or grape marc, this subcategory narrows the scope to these two specific types of grape brandies. The distinction lies in their geographical origin and the particular production methods that define their unique characteristics. This specificity is crucial for accurate tariff application and trade monitoring.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2208.20.10.00 is final for goods meeting the definition of Pisco or singani. Importers and exporters should ensure their documentation accurately identifies the product as either Pisco or singani to comply with customs regulations.
