Analysis
HTS 2203.00.00 covers beer made from malt under heading 2203 (beer made from malt). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in litres.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 87% of the 39 tariff lines in chapter 22, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
It is the only US line under subheading 2203.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 2203.00 points straight here.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 312120 (Breweries), an industry of 5,218 US establishments employing 98,647 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
The ten-digit suffixes separate in glass containers and in containers each holding over 4 liters. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
