HTS heading 2207 is a broad product category for ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and certain spirits. It groups together two main types: undenatured ethyl alcohol with an alcoholic strength of 80% by volume or more, and denatured ethyl alcohol or other spirits of any strength. “Undenatured” generally means the alcohol has not been intentionally made unsuitable for drinking; “denatured” means substances have been added to make it unfit for human consumption.
To select a specific 8-digit HTS code, first determine which branch of heading 2207 applies, then review the more detailed subheadings and statistical subdivisions. The correct code may depend on facts such as whether the product is denatured, its alcohol strength, the denaturing formula or type, and sometimes the product’s stated use or composition. Product descriptions, technical specifications, safety data, and applicable customs notes should all match the selected code.
What to check
- Confirm whether the product is undenatured or denatured, and obtain the exact formulation or denaturing-agent information.
- Verify the alcohol strength by volume and use the measurement and product condition shown in the commercial and technical documents.
- Read the full hierarchy below heading 2207, including subheadings and statistical subdivisions; do not stop at the 4-digit heading.
- Compare the product description, formula, label, safety data sheet, and invoice wording so they consistently support the proposed code.
- Check current official HTS notes and, when the classification is uncertain, ask a customs broker or request a binding classification decision.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
