Last updated: August 2026 dataCoopers' products — oak barrels, hogsheads, staves, hoops, and barrelheads — are critical inputs for the wine, spirits, and craft beverage industries, and France and Portugal together account for the leading share of US imports under this heading, reflecting the dominance of European oak in premium aging applications. The US schedule is unusually granular, separating new from used assembled and unassembled casks (4416003010, 4416003020, 4416003030), new and used staves (4416006010, 4416006040), hoops, tight barrelheads of softwood, and other coopers' products. Used barrels and staves may carry residual wine or spirits content, which can trigger additional CBP scrutiny regarding alcohol import regulations.

The new/used distinction affects duty rates and may trigger different admissibility considerations — used barrels containing alcohol residue can implicate TTB regulations. The assembled/unassembled split (4416003020 vs. 4416003030) reflects practical shipping and valuation differences, as stave sets shipped flat are classified and valued differently from fully assembled casks. Importers should document the condition and assembly status of each shipment carefully.
Used barrels that contain residual alcohol may require review by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) depending on the intended use. CBP may also scrutinize residual contents for valuation purposes. Importers bringing in used barrels for re-use in beverage production should confirm TTB requirements and ensure accurate declaration of any contained spirits or wine residue.
