Grape brandy is a spirit produced by the distillation of grape wine or grape marc. This classification applies to a range of grape-based spirits, such as Armagnac, Cognac, and other brandies derived from grapes, when they meet the specified volume and value thresholds.
The primary distinguishing factor for this category, as indicated by its description, is the monetary value per liter. It is differentiated from its sibling categories by this economic metric. Specifically, 2208.20.30.00 applies to grape brandy valued between $2.38 and $3.43 per liter, while 2208.20.40.00 is for grape brandy exceeding $3.43 per liter. Therefore, the precise price point per liter is the decisive element in selecting among these three closely related classifications.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. All goods meeting the criteria of being grape brandy, in containers not exceeding 4 liters, and valued at or below $2.38 per liter, will be classified under 2208.20.20.00.
