1、 Coffee beans and ground coffee powder
Coffee beans and ground coffee powder are the most basic ingredients for making coffee. There are many different varieties of coffee beans and ground coffee powder based on their origin, blending, and baking degree, but these factors do not affect the classification of coffee beans and ground coffee powder. Both ground coffee beans and ground coffee powder should be classified under heading 09.01.
2、 Instant coffee (without sugar, dairy products, etc.)
In recent years, instant coffee has been popular among office workers due to its advantages of rapid preparation, easy carrying and storage during travel. Instant coffee (without sugar, dairy products, etc.) is different from ground coffee powder. It is a coffee extract obtained by evaporating the water in the coffee extract and should be classified under tax number 2101.1100 "Coffee Concentrate".
3、 Coffee concentrate products
Unlike instant coffee without sugar or dairy products mentioned earlier, some coffee concoctions mix instant coffee with sugar or dairy products to obtain a richer taste. This type of product is coffee concentrate and should be classified under tax number 2101.1200 "Products with concentrated essence or coffee as the basic ingredient".
4、 Capsule coffee (without sugar, dairy products, etc.)
Capsule coffee is an emerging coffee product in recent years. This product first grinds coffee beans into coffee powder, puts them into aluminum capsules, and then processes them using a dedicated capsule coffee machine. Convenient and fast to use, and can better preserve the original flavor of coffee. The essence of capsule coffee powder (excluding sugar, dairy products, etc.) is ground coffee powder, so capsule coffee and coffee powder are classified the same and classified under heading 09.01.
5、 Coffee beverage
This product is a beverage made mainly from coffee bean extract and concentrate, which can be consumed directly (whether in retail packaging or not), and should be classified under tax number 2202.9900 "Other Non alcoholic Beverages".
6、 Coffee machine
There are various types of coffee machines, including drip filter coffee machines, high-pressure steam coffee machines, capsule coffee machines, and other categories. In terms of product classification, we should focus on the application scenarios of relevant equipment. If its specific parameters, workflow, and application scenarios meet commercial standards, it should be classified under tax number 8419.8100. If it is a regular household coffee machine, it should be classified under tax number 8516.71.
7、 Filter paper
In the traditional coffee making process, filter paper is an essential item. In recent years, with the rise of hand brewed coffee, the demand for coffee filter paper has also increased. The classification of filter paper is relatively clear and should be classified under the tax number of subheading 4823.20.
8、 Mocha kettle
Mocha pot is a coffee making utensil that extracts the base of espresso coffee and originated in Italy. Nowadays, with its elegant design and convenient operation, it has sold well worldwide. Aluminum mocha pots should be classified under tax number 7615.1090.
