Overview
This HTS classification covers roasted Robusta coffee that is not decaffeinated and is presented in retail containers weighing 2 kilograms or less. This category encompasses the bulk of roasted Robusta coffee beans intended for direct consumer purchase, excluding any specialized certifications. The focus is on the origin bean (Robusta), its processing (roasted, not decaffeinated), and its packaging for end-user sale.
This category specifically excludes "Certified organic" roasted Robusta coffee, which falls under HTS code 0901.21.00.25. The key differentiator is the absence of organic certification for the coffee beans classified here. Therefore, if the roasted Robusta coffee has undergone organic certification, it must be classified under the sibling category.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code is determined by the absence of organic certification for roasted Robusta coffee packaged in retail containers of 2 kg or less. The Harmonized Tariff Schedule does not provide further subdivisions at this point, meaning that any roasted Robusta coffee meeting these criteria, regardless of roast level (e.g., light, medium, dark) or specific preparation style (e.g., whole bean, ground), will be classified under this designation unless it qualifies for a more specific sibling category.
