Yes. Because the HTS assigns separate 10-digit lines to red, white, black, and NESOI grape varieties within each seasonal window, a mixed-color shipment must be itemized by variety on the entry. Importers should ensure packing lists and commercial invoices break out quantities by color variety to support accurate classification and avoid CBP examination.

Peru's coastal desert climate allows year-round grape production, and its harvest timing — peaking in the Northern Hemisphere winter — fills a supply gap when domestic US and Chilean production is limited. Significant foreign investment in Peruvian viticulture over the past decade has expanded both volume and variety range, making Peru the leading source for the February–March entry window in particular.
