Overview
This HTS classification specifically covers certified organic Arabica coffee, roasted and not decaffeinated, presented in retail containers weighing 2 kilograms or less. This designation signifies that the coffee has met the rigorous standards set forth by recognized organic certification bodies, ensuring it was produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.
This subcategory is distinct from its sibling, 0901.21.00.20 "Other," which would encompass non-organic roasted Arabica coffee beans or grounds packaged for retail sale in the same weight bracket. The key differentiator here is the explicit "certified organic" status, which requires specific documentation and adherence to organic production and processing protocols.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 0901.21.00.15. Classification at this level requires confirmation of both the coffee type (Arabica), its processing (roasted, not decaffeinated), packaging (retail containers ≤ 2kg), and importantly, verifiable organic certification.
