About heading 2202

Waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavored, and other non-alcoholic beverages, not including fruit, nut or vegetable juices of heading 2009

Heading 2202 covers non-alcoholic beverages that contain added sweetener or are flavored, and it also covers other non-alcoholic drinks that are not fruit, nut or vegetable juice of heading 2009. The heading splits first by whether the product is a sweetened or flavored water (2202.10) or another non-alcoholic beverage (2202.91 for non-alcoholic beer, 2202.99 for everything else). Below that, classification turns on the type of drink, whether it is fortified juice or milk-based, and whether it is packed in aluminum containers.
