2101.12.34.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 9 to chapter 17 and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification covers blended syrups derived from coffee extracts, essences, or concentrates, or from coffee itself, which meet the specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17. These preparations are distinct from other categories within heading 2101 by their nature as a blended syrup and their adherence to the specific U.S. note requirements, often relating to their composition and intended use.

The term "blended syrups" implies a formulation that combines coffee-based ingredients with other components, such as sweeteners, flavorings, or other liquids, to create a finished syrup product. The classification hinges on whether these preparations are specifically described and recognized under the provisions of additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17, which may detail acceptable ingredients, proportions, or functional characteristics for inclusion in this subcategory.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of a product under 2101.12.34.00 is therefore definitive once it is determined to be a blended syrup of coffee and to satisfy the requirements of the aforementioned additional U.S. note. This contrasts with the sibling category, 2101.12.38.00, which encompasses all other preparations based on coffee extracts, essences, or concentrates that do not meet the specific criteria for blended syrups as defined.
