Harmonized System (HS) code for Rum

The Harmonized System (HS) code for rum is generally classified under the following category:

• HS Code 2208.40: This code is specifically for “Rum and other spirits obtained by distilling fermented sugar-cane products.”

This code applies to rum and other similar spirits derived from sugarcane products, including those that are undenatured and have an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 80%.

As with tequila, it’s important to verify with local customs authorities to ensure proper classification, as different countries may extend the HS code with additional digits for more specific classification. More info here.
