About heading 2101

Extracts, essences and concentrates, of coffee, tea or maté and preparations with a basis of these products or with a basis of coffee, tea or maté; roasted chicory and other roasted coffee substitutes, and extracts, essences and concentrates thereof

Heading 2101 covers coffee, tea and mate extracts, essences and concentrates, plus preparations made with a basis of those products. It also covers roasted chicory and other roasted coffee substitutes and their extracts. The heading splits first by base material (coffee at 2101.11 and 2101.12, tea or mate at 2101.20, chicory at 2101.30), then by whether the good is a pure extract or a preparation, with flavored versus unflavored, decaf status, retail packaging and sugar content driving the remaining lines.
