In recent years, with the accelerating pace of urban life, coffee has gradually become an indispensable part of people's daily lives as a refreshing, elegant, and sophisticated beverage. The recent rise of the "sauce-flavored latte" has particularly sparked a small wave of enthusiasm in social circles. As the demand for coffee products becomes increasingly diverse, the variety of imported related goods continues to emerge endlessly. However, coffee inimport and exportmany enterprises often find it a headache. Next, we will conduct a detailed review of the key points and difficulties in the commodity classification of coffee products and related utensils.

Coffee beans and ground coffee powder are the most basic raw materials for making coffee. Due to various factors such as origin, blending, and roasting degree, there are numerous varieties of coffee beans and ground coffee powder. However, these factors do not affect the classification of coffee beans and ground coffee powder. Whether it is unground coffee beans or ground coffee powder, they should all be classified under the tariff item 09.01.

Instant coffee is favored by office workers for its convenient preparation, ease of portability, and storage. Unlike ground coffee powder, instant coffee is obtained by evaporating the water from coffee extract and should be classified under tariff code 2101.1100, "coffee concentrates."

The coffee concentrate product is made by blending instant coffee with sugar, dairy products, etc., to achieve a richer taste. Since this type of product is primarily composed of coffee concentrate, it should be classified under tariff heading 2101.1200, "Products with a basis of coffee concentrates or coffee."

Capsule coffee is a new product on the market in recent years. This kind of coffee grinds coffee beans into powder and packs them into aluminum capsules, which are processed through a special capsule coffee machine. Due to its convenience and ability to well preserve the original flavor of coffee, it has been welcomed by a large number of consumers. Capsule coffee powder (without sugar, dairy products, etc.) is essentially ground coffee powder, so it has the same classification as coffee powder and should also be classified under the tariff item 09.01.

The coffee beverage is a ready-to-drink product primarily composed of coffee bean extracts or concentrates (regardless of retail packaging). Such products should be classified under tariff code 2202.9900, "Other non-alcoholic beverages."

Coffee machines come in a wide variety of categories, including drip coffee machines, high - pressure steam coffee machines, capsule coffee machines, etc. When classifying commodities, we need to focus on the application scenarios of the coffee machine. If the specific parameters, working process, and application scenarios of the coffee machine all meet the commercial standards, it should be classified under the tariff number 8419.8100; while ordinary household coffee machines should be classified under the sub - tariff number 8516.71.

In the making of traditional coffee, coffee filters are an essential item. With the popularity of pour - over coffee, the demand for coffee filters has gradually increased. The classification of coffee filters is relatively simple and clear, and they should be classified under the sub - tariff number 4823.20.

The Moka pot originated in Italy and is a coffee - making appliance used to extract the base of Italian espresso coffee. The Moka pot is widely popular for its elegant shape and convenient operation and has been sold well worldwide. Aluminum Moka pots should be classified under HS Code 7615.1090.
