Last updated: April 2026 dataCognac, Armagnac, and other grape-distilled spirits fall under this heading, with France dominating US import volumes and Peru a significant source for pisco (classified at 2208201000) and Singani. The US tariff schedule subdivides grape brandy by container size (above or below 4 liters) and declared value per liter, creating six distinct 10-digit lines that affect duty calculations and entry documentation. Importers should note that TTB formula approval and label certification are required before commercial release, and that certain European geographic indications carry specific labeling obligations. Armenia rounds out the top three supplier countries, reflecting growing consumer interest in Armenian brandy styles.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The schedule separates pisco and singani into their own line (2208201000), then splits remaining grape brandies by container size — not over 4 liters versus over 4 liters — and further by declared value per liter, yielding lines 2208202000 through 2208206000. Correct classification requires knowing both the container capacity and the transaction value per liter at time of entry.
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) requires a Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) for all imported distilled spirits, including grape brandy. Importers must also ensure compliance with TTB's standards of identity for the specific spirit type (e.g., 'cognac' requires French origin and specific production methods).
