Overview
This category, HTS Code 2101.20.20.90, encompasses a broad range of "other" preparations and extracts derived from tea or maté, not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 2101.20. This includes, but is not limited to, ready-to-drink tea beverages, liquid tea concentrates intended for dilution, and solid or powdered tea-based mixtures that do not meet the criteria for instant tea. The key defining characteristic is that these products have a base of tea or maté, or are extracts, essences, or concentrates thereof, and their preparation results in a product beyond just the initial extraction.
This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 2101.20.20.10, which is reserved specifically for "instant tea." Instant tea is typically characterized by its ability to dissolve quickly in water without requiring further processing to achieve a beverage. Therefore, products classified under 2101.20.20.90 are those tea or maté preparations that require additional steps like mixing with water, or are intended for culinary or other non-instant beverage applications.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. The classification of goods under 2101.20.20.90 will depend on a detailed examination of the specific product's composition, intended use, and processing method to ensure it does not fall under a more precise description within the HTS.
