Beer Made from Malt

Malt-based beer is one of the most actively traded beverage categories entering the US, with the tariff schedule distinguishing container format: glass containers of not over 4 liters (2203000030), non-glass containers of not over 4 liters (2203000060), and containers over 4 liters (2203000090). Mexico dominates import volume by a wide margin, with the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, and Belgium rounding out the primary European sources — a supplier profile that spans mass-market lagers to craft and specialty styles. Importers should be aware that alcoholic beverages are subject to TTB labeling and formula requirements in addition to standard CBP entry procedures.
