HS Code for Chicory extract

Chicory extract is classified under HS code 2101.30, which covers roasted chicory and other roasted coffee substitutes, as well as their extracts, essences, and concentrates. This classification is determined by the processing of the chicory root. Once the root is roasted and subjected to an extraction process to create a liquid or powdered concentrate, it moves from Chapter 12 (raw materials) to Chapter 21 (miscellaneous edible preparations). The HS code 2101.30 specifically addresses products used as alternatives to coffee or as additives to coffee blends to enhance flavor and color.

Products Included

• Liquid chicory extract
• Instant chicory powder
• Roasted chicory concentrates
• Coffee substitutes containing roasted chicory

Common Misclassification

Chicory extract is often confused with roasted chicory roots that have not been extracted, though both fall under 2101.30. A more significant error is using HS code 1212.94, which is reserved for fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried chicory roots that have not been roasted. Additionally, pure coffee extracts are classified under 2101.11, and care must be taken to distinguish between pure coffee and chicory-based blends.
