HS code for Prosecco: 2204.10

Wine, sparkling.

Classification of prosecco under HS 2204.10

Prosecco is a specific type of sparkling wine produced in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of Italy. It is classified under Chapter 22 of the Harmonized System, which covers beverages, spirits, and vinegar. Specifically, it falls under Heading 2204, which pertains to wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines. Within this heading, subheading 2204.10 is dedicated to sparkling wine. The classification is based on the physical characteristics of the product: it must be a wine of fresh grapes and it must be "sparkling." According to the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System, sparkling wine is defined as wine which, when kept at a temperature of 20°C in closed containers, has an excess pressure of not less than 3 bar. Prosecco, typically produced via the Charmat-Martinotti method where secondary fermentation occurs in large tanks, meets these pressure requirements. The classification is independent of the specific grape variety (Glera) or the regional designation (DOC or DOCG), as long as the pressure criteria for sparkling wine are met.

Codes often confused with 2204.10

Common mistake. Prosecco is often misclassified under 2204.21, which covers still wine in containers holding 2 liters or less. This occurs if the Prosecco is of the "Frizzante" variety and the internal pressure is less than 3 bar; in such cases, it does not meet the technical definition of sparkling wine for HS purposes. It may also be confused with other fermented beverages under 2206.00, such as cider or perry, though Prosecco is strictly a grape-based wine.

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).
