0902.20.90.50 - Other

This classification, "Other," within the "Other green tea (not fermented)" category, encompasses green teas that do not fall under any more specific subheadings. It serves as a residual category for green teas that have undergone processing, such as rolling or drying, but have not been fermented, and are not otherwise specifically described or designated, for example, as certified organic.

This "Other" category is distinguished from its sibling, "Certified organic" (0902.20.90.15), by the absence of organic certification. While both are green teas that are not fermented, the presence or absence of official organic certification is the primary differentiating factor. Any green tea that meets the general criteria of not being fermented but does not possess organic certification will be classified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code hinges solely on the green tea meeting the broader criteria of Chapter 9, specifically being a non-fermented green tea, and not qualifying for any more specific classifications, particularly the organic designation.
