RE: The tariff classification of Graf’s Frankische Pflaume from Germany

Dear Mr. Diaz:

You also submitted a copy of the Certificate of Label Approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF), which designates the product as a liqueur.

The applicable subheading for the Graf’s Frankische Pflaume will be 2208.70.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for spirits, liqueurs and other spirituous beverages: Liqueurs and cordialsIn containers each holding not over 4 liters.

In addition, the Graf’s Frankische Pflaume is subject to a Federal Excise Tax of $13.50 per proof gallon and a proportionate tax at the like rate on all fractional parts of a proof gallon.
