What determines the tariff number?

- Packaging material. Whether your energy drink is bottled in glass, cans, or other containers influences the HS code. Each material has its own classification rules.
- Sugar and sweeteners. The addition of sugar or artificial sweeteners shapes the product category and significantly affects the customs tariff number.
- Alcohol content. Energy drinks may be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. This distinction is crucial for determining the correct HS code.
