0902.10.90 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 0902.10.90, encompasses green tea that is not fermented and is presented in immediate packings with a net weight not exceeding 3 kilograms. This category serves as a residual classification for such green teas that do not fit into more specific subcategories within this HTS heading. The emphasis here is on the physical form of the tea (green, unfermented) and its packaging size, making it suitable for retail or smaller commercial distribution.

It is important to distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling, 0902.10.10, which specifically covers flavored green tea. Therefore, any green tea classified under 0902.10.90 must be unflavored. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific attributes. The subcategories, 0902.10.90.15 (Certified organic) and 0902.10.90.50 (Other), allow for a more granular identification of the product. The "Certified organic" designation recognizes teas that have undergone specific certification processes, while the residual "Other" subcategory captures any remaining unflavored green teas that do not meet the organic certification criteria.
