Covers water, juices, beer, wine, spirits (whiskey, vodka, rum), vinegar, and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The average MFN (Most Favored Nation) duty rate for products in this chapter is 3.8%. Individual rates vary significantly within the chapter, ranging from duty-free to well above the average. In addition to MFN rates, most non-EU imports face the 10% Section 122 tariff (effective February 24, 2026; scheduled to sunset approximately July 24, 2026).
