2208.30.60.85 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 2208.30.60.85, encompasses "Other" whiskies that do not fall under the more specific sibling category. It is crucial to understand that this "Other" designation applies to whiskies bottled in containers exceeding 4 liters in volume. Therefore, this category is intended for bulk shipments or larger retail formats of whisky not specifically categorized by grain type, such as rye whisky (2208.30.60.75).

The key distinguishing factor for this subcategory is the container size. While the preceding levels of classification (whiskies, other) establish the general product type, the distinction between 2208.30.60.75 (Rye) and 2208.30.60.85 hinges on whether the whisky is presented in containers of 4 liters or less (implied by the rye classification being a sibling) or in containers larger than 4 liters. This implies that the volume of the packaging is a primary determinant for classification at this specific level.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this point, with the defining characteristics being that the product is a whisky, not rye, and is packaged in containers each holding over 4 liters. Examples would include bulk shipments of blended Scotch whisky or large format bottles of bourbon intended for commercial use, where the volume dictates the specific tariff treatment.
