0901.21.00 - Not decaffeinated

This HTS classification covers roasted coffee that is *not* decaffeinated. This includes whole beans or ground coffee that has undergone the roasting process but retains its natural caffeine content. The key defining characteristic is the absence of decaffeination treatment, distinguishing it from its sibling category.

The primary distinction from HTS code 0901.22.00 lies in the decaffeination status. While both fall under roasted coffee, this category specifically pertains to coffee where the caffeine has not been removed. Therefore, any roasted coffee product that has not undergone a decaffeination process, regardless of origin or roast level (light, medium, dark), will be classified here.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to accommodate different packaging and presentation formats. The subcategories differentiate between coffee sold in retail containers weighing 2 kilograms or less, which typically implies consumer-ready packaging, and other presentations which would encompass bulk shipments or larger packaging formats not intended for direct retail sale. This hierarchical breakdown allows for more granular tracking and tariff application based on the commercial form of the product.
