HS code for Sparkling wine: 2204.10

Wine, sparkling.

Classification of sparkling wine under HS 2204.10

Sparkling wine is classified under HS code 2204.10. This classification falls under Chapter 22, which covers beverages, spirits, and vinegar. Heading 2204 is dedicated to wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines and grape must. Subheading 2204.10 specifically identifies "sparkling wine." For customs and international trade purposes, 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 bars due to the presence of carbon dioxide in solution. This includes famous varieties such as Champagne, Cava, and Prosecco. The classification is based on the production method (secondary fermentation or carbonation) and the resulting internal pressure. If the wine does not meet the pressure threshold or is made from fruits other than grapes, it would be classified under different headings within Chapter 22. The packaging often involves a specific cork held in place by a wire cage (muselet), though the classification is determined by the liquid's physical properties rather than the bottle type.

Codes often confused with 2204.10

Common mistake. Sparkling wine is often confused with still wine, which is classified under 2204.21 (for containers of 2 liters or less). If the beverage is a sparkling fermented drink made from fruits other than grapes (such as sparkling cider or perry), it is classified under HS code 2206.00. Additionally, "semi-sparkling" wines with a pressure between 1 and 2.5 bars are often classified as still wines under 2204.21 rather than 2204.10.

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).
