U.S. imports of undenatured ethyl alcohol of 80% or higher alcohol by volume (HS 220710) totaled $32.9M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Importers of Undenatured Ethyl Alcohol of 80% or Higher Alcohol by Volume paid $2.8M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $22.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Undenatured Ethyl Alcohol of 80% or Higher Alcohol by Volume imports of $32.9M in April 2026 ran 29% above the year-to-date monthly average of $25.4M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHigh-purity undenatured ethanol at 80% alcohol by volume or above serves three distinct end uses captured in separate 10-digit lines: beverage-grade spirit production (2207103000), fuel ethanol (2207106010), and other non-beverage industrial applications (2207106090). Brazil is the dominant supplier, driven by its large sugarcane-based ethanol industry, with Canada and Guatemala also significant sources. Fuel-use ethanol imports are subject to EPA oversight and may interact with Renewable Fuel Standard compliance obligations, while beverage-grade ethanol requires TTB permitting. The heading is also subject to tariff considerations that vary by end-use declaration, making accurate use-code documentation at entry critical.

The three 10-digit lines under this heading separate beverage-grade (2207103000), fuel-use (2207106010), and other non-beverage (2207106090) ethanol. Each line may carry a different duty rate, and the regulatory pathway differs: beverage-grade ethanol requires TTB permitting; fuel ethanol is subject to EPA oversight and Renewable Fuel Standard considerations; industrial ethanol may require additional agency review depending on downstream use. Importers must accurately declare the intended use at entry, as post-entry reclassification can trigger duty and penalty exposure.
Brazil operates one of the world's largest and most cost-efficient sugarcane-to-ethanol industries, giving it a structural cost advantage in producing high-purity ethanol at scale. Its production capacity and established export infrastructure make it the primary source for both fuel-grade and industrial-grade undenatured ethanol entering the US market.
