2208.30.60.65 - Other

This HTS classification, 2208.30.60.65, covers "Other" whiskies that are not specifically identified as rye whiskey. This category is intended for whiskies that do not fit into the more granular rye classification. For the purposes of this chapter, whisky is understood to be a spirit distilled from fermented grain mash and aged in wooden casks.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2208.30.60.55 (Rye), is crucial. While both fall under the broader category of "Whiskies," this "Other" classification specifically excludes whiskies where rye is the predominant grain used in the mash bill. Therefore, to classify a product here, one must confirm it is a whiskey but not a rye whiskey.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive at this level. This means that any whisky, aged in wood, with an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 80 percent vol., and bottled in containers each holding not over 4 liters, which is not classified as rye whiskey, will fall under this designation. This often includes bourbons, single malts (unless specifically classified elsewhere under a more detailed provision, which is uncommon at this level), and blended whiskies where rye is not the primary grain.
