HTS heading 2101 is a four-digit product category for certain coffee, tea, and maté products, plus roasted chicory and other roasted coffee substitutes. It generally groups extracts, essences, and concentrates; preparations based on those products; and extracts, essences, and concentrates made from roasted chicory or other roasted substitutes. The heading is about the product’s composition and form, not simply whether it is marketed as a beverage.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s actual ingredients, processing, and presentation. Subheadings and tariff lines may distinguish coffee-based products from tea or maté products, roasted chicory or other substitutes, and different forms or compositions. Review the full eight-digit wording, including any units of measure and statistical suffixes, and verify that the product meets the applicable legal notes and classification rules. If the product contains multiple ingredients or has an unusual formulation, a customs broker or binding classification ruling may be appropriate.
What to check
- Check the complete ingredient list and identify the primary base: coffee, tea, maté, chicory, or another roasted substitute.
- Confirm the product’s form and processing, such as an extract, essence, concentrate, powder, liquid, or prepared mix.
- Read every level of the HTSUS hierarchy from heading 2101 through the full eight-digit line; do not stop at the four-digit heading.
- Compare the product’s packaging, labeling, intended use, and formulation with the tariff-line descriptions, especially when it contains added sugar, dairy, flavorings, or other ingredients.
- Keep product specifications and manufacturing records, and ask a customs broker or request an official ruling when the classification is uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
