U.S. imports of fermented beverages not elsewhere specified (cider, perry, mead, sake, and others) (HS 220600) totaled $34.0M in April 2026, traded with 40 countries.
Importers of Fermented Beverages Not Elsewhere Specified (Cider, Perry, Mead, Sake, and Others) paid $1.8M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $16.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHard cider, perry, mead, sake, and other fermented beverages not classifiable as wine or beer occupy this heading, which also covers ready-to-drink mixed fermented beverages and effervescent wines not made from fresh grapes. Canada is the leading supplier, reflecting cross-border hard cider trade, with Japan a significant source for sake (classified under 2206004500). The heading's breadth — spanning apple-based, honey-based, rice-based, and mixed-fermentation products — means that classification often turns on the base fermentable and whether the product meets TTB's definitions for a specific beverage category. TTB permit and formula requirements apply, and FDA reviews these products as food at entry; importers should confirm the applicable TTB product category before filing.

Sake is specifically enumerated under 10-digit line 2206004500 (Rice Wine or Sake). TTB regulates sake as a wine product, so importers must hold a TTB Importer's Basic Permit and obtain COLA for each label. Sake's formula is generally not subject to the same botanical-formula approval process as aromatized wines, but the product must meet TTB's compositional standards for rice wine.
The 10-digit line 2206001510 covers hard cider as defined by Statistical Note 3 to Chapter 22. That note sets specific parameters — including apple-juice base, alcohol content range, and carbonation level — that distinguish hard cider from other apple-based fermented beverages. Importers should review the note's criteria and ensure that product specifications and TTB formula approvals align with the statutory definition before using this line.
