Wine Import Statistics (2024–2026)
Wine (HS 2204) customs import values across nine markets, 2024–2026.
Research baseline rather than a harmonised ranking: some 2025 values cover only bottled still wine (HS 220421), and 2026 figures are partial-year observations.

Strategic implications for international distribution
Large end-consumption markets
The United States, Japan and China merit differentiated supplier and distributor strategies.
Trade hubs
Singapore and the UAE require careful separation of domestic consumption from re-export and bonded-warehouse activity.
Targeted market-entry opportunities
South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam can be approached through licensed importers, on-trade buyers and specialty distributors.
Market size alone is not sufficient to select a priority country: import duties, excise, licensing, distribution concentration, channel access and payment terms are material.

Smaller reported import bases, but may offer targeted distributor opportunities.
Methodology, caveats and sources
- Figures are drawn from previously reviewed published summaries and trade-database references; they have not been independently reconciled across all nine countries and years in this document.
- Customs values may differ between importer-reported imports and exporter-reported mirror data.
- Singapore and UAE trade flows may include re-exports.
- 2026 is incomplete as of 3 November 2026.
- Some 2024 UAE and US wine values are estimates or rounded conversions.
- “Not verified” means no comparable figure is supplied here, not zero trade.
