Overview

This HTS category, 2208.70.00.60, encompasses liqueurs and cordials specifically when presented in containers with a capacity exceeding four liters. These beverages are characterized by their flavoring, typically derived from fruits, herbs, spices, or other natural or artificial flavorings, and are sweetened to a significant degree. They are generally intended for consumption as dessert drinks or for mixed beverage purposes.

The primary distinction of this category from its sibling, 2208.70.00.30, lies solely in the volume of the retail packaging. While both classify liqueurs and cordials, this specific code applies to larger format containers, such as magnums or bulk packaging, intended for commercial sale or institutional use rather than individual consumer purchase.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 2208.70.00.60 is definitively determined by the nature of the product as a liqueur or cordial and its presentation in containers larger than four liters.
