HS Code 2204.22 – Wine; still, in containers holding more than 2 litres but not more than 10 litres
HS code 2204.22 is the 6-digit subheading for wine, still, in containers holding more than 2 litres but not more than 10 litres. It is used for bag-in-box red wine, 3-liter white wine bottle, 5-liter rosé wine cask, 10-liter wine dispenser and bulk table wine.
What HS 2204.22 covers
This HS code covers still wine packaged in intermediate-sized containers, typically bag-in-box or larger bottles, designed for bulk consumers like restaurants, bars, or for home consumption where larger quantities are desired. It's a significant category in international trade, facilitating the movement of wine from major producing regions to global markets. Importers often include distributors, hospitality suppliers, and large retailers looking to offer value or convenience. Exporters are primarily traditional wine-producing nations such as France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Chile, and the USA. Key aspects include packaging innovation, shelf life considerations for larger formats, and the balance between quality and cost-effectiveness for these bulk presentations. The trade in these formats often reflects consumer trends towards more sustainable packaging or cost-conscious purchasing, especially in markets where wine is a staple.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
