Overview
This HTS classification, 2101.11.21.39, specifically covers decaffeinated instant coffee that is not flavored and is not packaged for retail sale. This category encompasses bulk quantities of decaffeinated instant coffee intended for further processing, industrial use, or resale to businesses rather than directly to consumers. The key defining characteristics are its decaffeinated nature, its instant solubility, its lack of added flavors, and its packaging which is not designed for consumer display or individual purchase.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2101.11.21.31, is crucial. The sibling category applies exclusively to decaffeinated, unflavored instant coffee that is specifically packaged for retail sale, meaning it is presented in consumer-ready formats like jars, sachets, or tins clearly marked for individual purchase. Therefore, the primary differentiator lies in the intended market and packaging style; this category is for non-retail, bulk packaging.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2101.11.21.39. All eligible goods under this classification have been fully defined by the preceding hierarchical levels, covering decaffeinated, unflavored instant coffee that is not packaged for retail sale. Classification to this specific code requires confirming all preceding criteria are met, particularly the absence of flavorings and the non-retail presentation of the product.
