Trade scenario guide

Wine Barrel & EUDR

A new empty wine barrel sold as a barrel can be an EUDR wood product, while a barrel being used exclusively to contain/carry wine and presented with that wine can qualify for the packing exclusion.

Status

Conditional — barrel sale vs carrying wine matters

Key question

Is the packaging itself being sold, or is it already being used exclusively to carry another product?

Two commercial moments

Empty barrel for sale

Can fall under ex 4416 as the traded wood product itself.

Barrel carrying wine

Can fall under the packing-use exclusion where the stated conditions are satisfied.

Used barrel

Used and second-hand products are separately excluded.
