Wine takes heading 2204 of the US tariff. Unlike most goods here, the ordinary rate is charged by volume, not value: sparkling wine on 2204.10 shows 19.8¢/liter, and still wine in containers of two liters or less sits on 2204.21 with its rate set by type and strength. So a cheap bottle bears much more duty, as a share of its price, than an expensive one. The 60-economy duty is charged on value. For the European Union, the note sets a total of 10% including ordinary duty, and for a rate per liter the note says to work out the equivalent as duty divided by customs value. The tool uses that method when you enter the liters. Federal and state taxes and rules on alcohol are not in this calculator, and we did not read them. Rates from 2026 HTS Revision 22, read on November 2, 2026. Ask the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau what your shipment needs.

Value matters, but not for the first layer
Try a $30,000 shipment of 12,000 liters from the European Union in the tool. Ordinary duty depends on the liters. The country duty only tops it up to the note’s total, so a low-value wine can reach the total through ordinary duty alone. China’s list duty, by contrast, is charged on value: List 3: +25% for effervescent wine. Bulk wine in larger containers takes other lines, such as 2204.29.81 at 22.4¢/liter.
What is not here
Federal excise tax and state taxes are not customs duties, and we did not read them. Add them separately to your budget under other costs in the calculator.
