What determines the tariff number?
- Wine type. Still wines, sparkling wines, and aromatised wines are classified separately. Wine type is the primary distinction in the customs tariff nomenclature.
- Alcohol content. Wines with a maximum of 18 % vol. are classified differently from those with higher alcohol content. This threshold determines the exact eight-digit tariff number.
- Flavouring. Vermouth wines and other wines aromatised with plants or substances follow their own classification rules and receive separate tariff numbers.
- Packaging size. Containers with a capacity of no more than 2 litres may result in different tariff numbers than larger package units.
