Codes often confused with 2101.30
Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
