Last updated: July 2026 dataNeutral grain or potato spirit filtered to a high degree of purity, vodka is classified across four 10-digit lines that split by container size and, for retail containers, by declared value per liter — with the threshold between lines 2208601000 and 2208602000 set at $2.05 per liter. France leads US vodka imports, a counterintuitive fact reflecting the commercial dominance of premium French-produced brands, followed by the Netherlands and Sweden. TTB's standard of identity for vodka requires that it be without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color, which affects how flavored vodkas are classified and labeled. Poland and Latvia round out the top five suppliers, representing traditional Eastern European production.

Flavored vodkas that still meet TTB's vodka standard of identity (neutral spirit with added natural flavoring) are generally classified under heading 220860 alongside unflavored vodka. However, if the flavoring is substantial enough that the product no longer qualifies as vodka under TTB standards, it may be reclassified as a liqueur or other spirituous beverage under a different heading. Importers should confirm TTB formula approval before assuming 220860 classification.
Lines 2208601000 and 2208602000 apply to containers not over 4 liters and split at $2.05 per liter of total liquid volume. The value used is the transaction value (customs value) per liter as declared on the commercial invoice. Misclassifying between these lines — for example, by using a different volume basis — can result in liquidation errors and potential penalties, so importers should confirm the per-liter calculation methodology with their customs broker.
