U.S. exports of grape must with fermentation prevented or arrested by alcohol (HS 220430) totaled $39K in December 2025, traded with 2 countries.
Last updated: December 2025 dataPartially fermented or fermentation-arrested grape must — used as a sweetening agent in winemaking and as a base for certain fortified products — is classified here, distinct from fully fermented wine and from unfermented grape juice under heading 2009. The single 10-digit line (2204300000) covers must whose fermentation has been prevented or arrested by the addition of alcohol, excluding products of heading 2009. Italy is the leading supplier, with Mexico also a source. Because this product contains alcohol and is derived from grapes, it is subject to TTB regulation as well as FDA food admissibility review; importers should confirm whether the product meets TTB's definition of wine or wine product to determine the applicable permit and formula requirements.

The key distinction is alcohol content and the mechanism of preservation. Grape must whose fermentation has been prevented or arrested by alcohol falls under heading 2204, while unfermented grape juice (including grape must preserved by means other than alcohol) falls under heading 2009. Importers should document the alcohol content and the method used to arrest fermentation to support the correct classification and TTB treatment.
The primary commercial use is as a natural sweetening and flavoring component in winemaking — particularly for producing sweet or semi-sweet wines — and as a base ingredient in certain fortified wine styles. Specialty food manufacturers may also use it as a flavoring agent. The relatively narrow supplier base (Italy leads, Mexico also ships) reflects the product's close ties to established wine-producing regions.
