HS Code Detail
220422 Chapter 22 · Beverages Wine in containers of 2 to 10 litres
Six-digit subheading in Beverages, chapter 22 of the Harmonized System, priced here for 5 destination markets.
Anatomy of 220422
You will declare against a longer local code that begins 220422: ten digits in the United States and the United Kingdom, eight in the European Union, and the first six the same everywhere. Which trailing digits apply is what the 5 rates below differ on.
What this code covers

| 🇺🇸United States | Not a % | 0% | |
Germany, Portugal, United Kingdom and United States charge this code by the hectolitre, the item or the kilogram rather than on its value, sometimes alongside a percentage, which is why the duty column reads Not a % there; a charge of that kind cannot be shown as a single percentage, so none is shown, the calculator does not estimate it, and the official wording is under each of those rows.
Rates shown are MFN (Most Favoured Nation), the default for WTO members. Preferential FTA rates may be lower with valid proof of origin. Section 301 / anti-dumping surcharges on Chinese-origin goods are not included.
What that costs: 220422 into Canada
An illustrative consignment of 220422 invoiced at CAD 2,000.00, priced in CAD because a threshold is set in the destination's currency and nothing here is converted.
| Goods value on the invoice | CAD 2,000.00 |
| International freight | CAD 120.00 |
| Cargo insurance | CAD 30.00 |
| Value the duty is charged on, FOB basis | CAD 2,000.00 |
| Duty at 0% | CAD 0.00 |
| Canada tax at 5%, charged on the value plus the duty | CAD 100.00 |
| Total, before commercial charges | CAD 2,250.00 |
And if the consignment were small
Canada relieves customs duties and taxes on consignments at or under CAD 20. The 220422 shipment above is over that, so its duty is charged in full. The same code invoiced at exactly CAD 20 with no freight would be charged CAD 0.00 of duty and CAD 0.00 of tax, a total of CAD 20.00. The rate on the 220422 row has not changed; only the charge is relieved.
Selling rather than buying? CAD 2,250.00 is what your buyer in Canada pays to take delivery of this consignment, yours to pay if you quote DDP and theirs if you quote DAP: Exporting to Canada sets out who collects it and what your invoice has to say.
An illustration, not a quotation: broker fees, handling and any trade remedy on the origin sit outside it. Price 220422 on your own numbers in the duty calculator.

Markets with no figure recorded
Australia: Two official readings of 2204.22 returned different answers, so no Australia figure is recorded. Averaging them, or preferring one, would publish a number neither reading supports.
Re-check first: The United States charges wine per litre and steps the rate at 14 percent alcohol by volume, so the strength on the label decides the duty and the price does not. Federal and state excise sit on top of the customs duty and are not in this table.
What falls under 220422
- Wine of fresh grapes in containers holding more than 2 litres but not more than 10 litres
- Bag in box wine, 3 litre and 5 litre pouches and 10 litre catering containers
What's specifically excluded
These look similar but belong under a different code:
Commonly confused with
220421: Bottled wine
Heading 2204 divides on container size before anything about the wine itself, so the same vintage in a 750 ml bottle and in a 3 litre box takes two different subheadings. Nothing about grape, region or quality enters the six digit decision.
220429: Bulk wine
The upper boundary here is 10 litres exactly. A 10 litre container is in this subheading and an 11 litre one is not, so catering formats sitting near the limit need the container volume stated rather than described.
Classification & cost note
The container is the classification here, which is unusual enough to catch people who expect wine to be classified by what is in the glass. Subheadings under 2204 are set by the size of the immediate container, so an importer moving a brand from bottles into boxes changes tariff code without changing the product. Two consequences follow. The excise position is separate and generally follows volume and strength rather than the customs code, so the two calculations are made on different bases and neither answers the other. And in several markets the labelling rules that apply to wine, covering allergens, strength, lot marking and origin, apply per container, so a format change is a labelling project as well as a tariff one. Where wine is shipped for bottling at destination the code changes again.
Typical products: Three litre bag in box wine · Five litre bag in box for retail · Ten litre catering wine boxes · Wine pouches above two litres · Party size wine casks · Refillable ten litre wine containers
What the notes to section IV say
Chapter 22 sits in section IV, prepared foodstuffs; beverages, spirits and vinegar; tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes; Products, whether or not containing nicotine, intended for inhalation without combustion; Other nicotine containing products intended for the intake of nicotine into the human body, where a section note governs every chapter in the section and applies before the heading notes below; the one reaching chapter 22 names no heading this site holds a code under, and it is quoted whole on the chapter 22 page, read from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/sections/4 on 2026-09-08.
What the nomenclature says about heading 2204
220422 is a subheading of 2204, wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines; grape must other than that of heading 2009 , and this site holds 2 other codes under the same heading, which every rule below governs equally.
No numbered note to chapter 22 takes heading 2204 as its subject, which is what the published notes say rather than a gap on this page: the heading is defined by its own wording above and by the note to the chapter, quoted in full on the chapter 22 page.
Read from the notes to chapter 22 published in the UK Trade Tariff by HM Revenue and Customs, at https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/chapters/22, with the heading title from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/headings/2204, on 2026-09-07, with the whole layer and the reason a heading note is a chapter note set out on the chapter 22 page. These notes are part of the international text of the Harmonized System, so the rule is the same whichever destination a shipment is going to, and it decides classification and never a rate.
Questions about 220422
Does the type of wine affect this code?
No. Heading 2204 divides on the size of the immediate container before anything about grape, region, colour or quality. The same wine in a bottle and in a box takes two different subheadings.
Is a 10 litre container in or out?
In. This subheading covers containers holding more than 2 litres up to and including 10 litres, so a 10 litre box belongs here and anything above it moves to the bulk subheading.
Does the code determine the excise?
No. Excise on wine generally follows volume and alcoholic strength and is assessed separately from customs duty, so a format change can alter the customs code without altering the excise position.
Is the tap part of the bag in box?
Yes, when presented as part of the filled container. The tap and the bladder are components of the packaging holding the wine, so they are not classified separately. Empty bags and taps shipped for filling at destination are packaging articles in their own right.
