Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 210112 when importing or exporting preparations that contain extracts, essences, or concentrates based on coffee. For example, a shipment of instant coffee granules would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers coffee-based products, distinguishing them from similar items like tea extracts classified under HS-6 210113. If your product is a coffee-flavored syrup, it would be classified here, while a tea-based syrup would not.

In contrast to HS-6 210120, which includes coffee substitutes like roasted chicory, this line focuses solely on products derived from actual coffee extracts. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate classification and compliance.
