Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 210130 when importing or exporting roasted chicory and other roasted coffee substitutes, such as chicory coffee blends. This code specifically applies to products that are prepared from roasted chicory roots, which are often used as caffeine-free alternatives to traditional coffee.

This HS-6 line is distinct from HS-6 210121, which covers extracts and concentrates of coffee. While both codes fall under the same heading, 210130 focuses on roasted chicory and similar substitutes, rather than coffee itself. Understanding this difference is crucial for accurate classification.

Products classified under 210130 can include instant chicory powder, chicory root granules, and ready-to-drink chicory beverages. These items are often marketed as coffee alternatives and may be found in health food stores or specialty coffee shops.

If you're dealing with blends that include both coffee and chicory, you may need to consider other classifications, such as HS-6 210121 for coffee extracts. Knowing the exact composition of your product will help you choose the correct HS code.
