Grape Brandy (Including Cognac, Armagnac, Pisco, and Singani)

Distilled from grape wine or grape marc, grape brandy encompasses a wide spectrum of premium spirits — from French Cognac and Armagnac to South American Pisco and Singani — each with protected geographical indications that affect labeling and admissibility. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading by container size and declared value per liter, with lines covering Pisco and Singani (2208201000) separately from other grape brandies classified by container size and price tier. France is the dominant supplier, with Peru a significant source for Pisco, and Armenia and Italy also among the top origins. Beverage alcohol imports are subject to TTB label approval and FDA entry review; importers should ensure certificates of age and origin are in order before shipment.
