2101.11.29.49 - Other

This HTS category, 2101.11.29.49, encompasses other extracts, essences, and concentrates derived from coffee, as well as preparations based on these coffee products, that are not packaged for retail sale. This includes bulk shipments of concentrated coffee flavorings, instant coffee mixes in industrial quantities, or liquid coffee extracts intended for further processing or large-scale commercial use, where the primary characteristic is not its immediate consumption by the end consumer in a retail-ready format.

The key distinction of this category from its sibling, 2101.11.29.41, lies in the packaging. While sibling categories specifically address coffee extracts and preparations "packaged for retail sale," this classification applies to products intended for industrial, foodservice, or manufacturing purposes where they are not presented in individual consumer-ready units. The absence of specific retail packaging is the defining factor for goods falling under this "Other" designation.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, 2101.11.29.49 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on the specific nature of the coffee extract, essence, or concentrate, and its preparation, ensuring it meets the broad definition of coffee-based products while explicitly excluding those prepared for direct retail purchase.
