Last updated: July 2026 dataGrape brandy — spirits distilled from grape wine or grape marc — encompasses Cognac, Armagnac, Pisco, Singani, and a wide range of other regional styles, with France the dominant US import source and Peru the leading supplier of Pisco specifically. The US schedule carves out Pisco and Singani (2208201000) as a named subheading, then stratifies remaining grape brandy by container size (up to 4 liters vs. over 4 liters) and declared value per liter, creating six duty-rate tiers that require accurate invoice pricing and container-size documentation at entry. Importers must hold a valid TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) importer's basic permit, and each product label must receive TTB COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) before the spirits may be sold in the US. State-level alcohol distribution laws add a further compliance layer that varies by jurisdiction.

Duty rates for grape brandy NESOI (excluding Pisco and Singani) are determined by two variables: whether the containers hold 4 liters or less versus more than 4 liters, and the declared value per liter. Importers must accurately document both the container capacity and the transaction value per liter on the commercial invoice, as CBP uses these to assign the correct 10-digit line and corresponding duty rate.
Importers must hold a TTB Importer's Basic Permit under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. Each label must receive a TTB Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) before the product enters US commerce. Additionally, the foreign distillery must be registered with TTB. These federal requirements are separate from state alcohol control board approvals, which vary significantly and must be addressed market by market.
