HTS CHAPTER

Chapter 22: Beverages, Spirits and Vinegar

Chapter 22 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) covers a diverse range of beverages, spirits, and vinegar, making it essential for U.S. importers in the food and beverage industry. This chapter includes categories such as alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, and spirits, along with non-alcoholic drinks such as fruit juices and soft drinks, as well as various types of vinegar. Common examples of products in this chapter are sparkling wine, whiskey, apple cider vinegar, and energy drinks. Industries that typically import these goods include restaurants, bars, beverage distributors, and grocery stores. Importers must be aware of regulatory considerations, such as labeling requirements, age verification for alcohol sales, and potential tariffs or excise taxes that may apply to alcoholic beverages. Compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations is also crucial to ensure smooth importation. Understanding these elements is vital for business owners seeking to navigate the complexities of importing beverages and spirits into the United States.
