for consumption as beverages (generally heading 2103)
(d) Acetic acid of a concentration exceeding 10 percent by weight of acetic acid (heading 2915);
2. For the purposes of this chapter and of chapters 20 and 2l, the "alcoholic strength by volume" shall be determined at a temperature
of 20°C.
3. For the purposes of heading 2202 the term "nonalcoholic beverages" means beverages of an alcoholic strength by volume not
exceeding 0.5 percent vol. Alcoholic beverages are classified in headings 2203 to 2206 or heading 2208 as appropriate.
Subheading Note
1. For the purposes of subheading 2204.10 the expression "sparkling wine" means wine which, when kept at a temperature of 20°C
in closed containers, has an excess pressure of not less than 3 bars.
1. The duties prescribed on products covered by this chapter are in addition to the internal-revenue taxes imposed under existing
law or any subsequent act. The duties imposed on products covered by this chapter which are subject also to internal-revenue
taxes are imposed only on the quantities subject to such taxes; except that, in the case of distilled spirits transferred to the bonded
premises of a distilled spirits plant under the provisions of section 5232 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, the duties are
imposed on the quantity withdrawn from customs custody.
2. Subheadings 2202.99.30, 2202.99.35, 2202.99.36 and 2202.99.37 cover vitamin or mineral fortified fruit or vegetable juices that
are imported only in non-concentrated form. Such juices imported in concentrated form are classifiable in subheadings 2106.90.48,
2106.90.52 or 2106.90.54, as appropriate.
3. Dutiable quantities of alcoholic juices (including grape must) classified in heading 2204, 2206 or 2208 shall be calculated in
accordance with additional U.S. notes 1, 2 and 3 in chapter 20.
4. The term "effervescent wine" means wine other than sparkling wine which contains in excess of 0.392 grams of carbon dioxide
per 100 milliliters of wine.
5. Where in heading 2204, 2206, 2207 or 2208, the rates shown in the rates of duty columns are in terms of a proof liter, proof liter
shall mean a liter of liquid at 15.56°C (60°F) which contains 50 percent (100 proof) by volume of ethyl alcohol having a specific
gravity of 0.7939 at 15.56°C (60°F) referred to water at 15.56°C (60°F) as unity or the alcoholic equivalent thereof.
6. Where in heading 2204, 2206, 2207 or 2208, the rates of duty are assessed on a proof liter basis, the rates shown indicate the
amount of duty which shall be collected on each liter of an imported product at 100 proof. The amount of duty which shall be
collected for each liter of a product which is imported at more than or less than 100 proof shall bear the same ratio to the applicable
rate of duty as the proof of the imported product bears to 100 proof.
7. The standard for determining the proof of brandy and other spirits or liquors of any kind when imported is the same as that which
is defined in the laws relating to internal revenue. The Secretary of the Treasury, at his discretion, may authorize the ascertainment
of the proof of wines, cordials or other liquors and fruit juices by distillation or otherwise, when it is impracticable to ascertain
such proof by the means prescribed by existing law or regulations.
