Last updated: July 2026 dataCooperage — the craft of making barrels, casks, vats, and tubs from wood — serves critical aging and fermentation functions in the wine, spirits, and beer industries, where oak species and char level directly affect flavor profiles and regulatory labeling. American oak and French oak staves are the dominant materials in premium cooperage, and the distinction between new and used barrels matters both commercially and for customs valuation. Staves and other wooden parts classified here are traded separately from finished barrels, giving importers flexibility in sourcing components for domestic assembly.

Used barrels that previously contained alcoholic beverages may be subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection for wood pests, and their prior contents can affect customs valuation and admissibility. Importers should verify treatment and documentation requirements before shipment, particularly for barrels sourced from non-ISPM 15 compliant countries.
Both assembled cooperage and unassembled wooden parts such as staves fall within this SITC heading, but at the HTS level the distinction between finished barrels and component staves can affect the applicable duty rate. Confirming the assembly state and species of wood with a customs broker is advisable before import.
