0902.30.00.15 - Certified organic

This HTS classification pertains to black tea (fermented) and partly fermented tea that is packaged in individual tea bags, with a specific designation of being "certified organic." This means the tea leaves used in these tea bags have been grown and processed in accordance with recognized organic standards, free from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0902.30.00.50 "Other," which would encompass black or partly fermented teas in tea bags that are not certified organic. The "certified organic" designation is the key differentiator, indicating adherence to specific agricultural and processing certifications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 0902.30.00.15. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise nature of the product: black or partly fermented tea, presented in tea bags, and explicitly certified as organic. This would include various types of black tea leaves, such as Assam, Ceylon, or Darjeeling, when processed into tea bags and carrying official organic certification.
