Last updated: August 2026 dataBulk wine shipped in flexitanks, ISO tanks, or large vessels for domestic bottling or blending enters under this heading, which covers containers exceeding 10 liters. New Zealand and Australia are prominent suppliers in this bulk-format channel, alongside Canada, Chile, and Italy. The heading's four 10-digit lines turn on a single variable — alcohol level not over or over 14% by volume — making it structurally simpler than the retail-format headings, but the commercial complexity lies in bond-to-bond transfers, TTB formula approvals for blended products, and the logistics of large-volume liquid imports. FDA food admissibility requirements apply at entry.

Wine imported in bulk and bottled domestically must be handled by a TTB-qualified winery or bottler. The domestic bottler assumes responsibility for formula compliance, label approval (COLA) for the finished product, and accurate records of the imported wine's origin and composition. The importer's Basic Permit covers the import transaction, but the bottling operation requires its own TTB qualification.
Both countries have well-developed export-oriented wine industries with surplus production capacity that makes bulk shipping economically attractive. Flexitank logistics from the Southern Hemisphere align with Northern Hemisphere off-peak demand cycles, and both origins have established relationships with US domestic bottlers seeking consistent varietal profiles for private-label and value-tier products.
