0902.40.00.00 - Other black tea (fermented) and other partly fermented tea

This HTS category, 0902.40.00.00, encompasses "other" black tea and other partly fermented tea. This designation primarily applies to fermented teas that do not meet the specific packaging requirements of subheading 0902.30.00. Essentially, it captures black and partly fermented teas when they are not presented in immediate packings of a content not exceeding 3 kilograms. This includes bulk shipments, large containers, or any presentation that falls outside the smaller, pre-packaged format described in the sibling category.

The crucial distinction from sibling category 0902.30.00 lies in the presentation of the goods. While both cover fermented and partly fermented teas, 0902.30.00 specifically addresses those packed in immediate containers of 3 kg or less. Therefore, 0902.40.00.00 serves as a residual category for these types of teas when they are offered in larger quantities or in bulk. This allows for accurate classification based on both the processing of the tea leaves and its commercial packaging.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this particular classification. All goods falling under the description of "other black tea (fermented) and other partly fermented tea" that are not in immediate packings of a content not exceeding 3 kg will be classified here.
