Wine import duty from the European Union to the USA (2026) — HTS 2204.21.20.00

not a percentage

HTS code 2204.21.20.00 · Wine · origin the European Union · data as of 2026-09-22

A shipment of wine entering the United States from the European Union is classified under HTS code 2204.21.20.00. The duty on this line is charged by weight or quantity rather than as a percentage of value. The layers that make up the charge are listed below. Because the charge follows quantity, the amount owed depends on how much you import rather than on what you paid; freight, insurance, brokerage and any merchandise processing fee come on top of it.

Column 1 rate "19.8¢/liter" is a specific or compound duty; its ad valorem equivalent depends on quantity and unit value, so the total below counts only the additional duties.

This tariff line is charged by weight or by piece, so there is no single percentage of the value. The calculator is switched off on this page.
