Jasmine Green Tea Loose Leaf from Mexico
Jasmine Green Tea Loose Leaf is an unfermented green tea scented with jasmine blossoms, packaged in a 200g airtight tin. The jasmine scenting is a flavoring that does not change the essential character of the green tea, so it remains in heading 09.02. As the immediate packing is under 3 kg and the product is not in single-serving bags, it falls under tariff item 0902.10.90.

Import Tips
• Verify that the jasmine scenting is natural and not a synthetic additive that could alter the product's essential character
• The 200g tin is an immediate packing under 3 kg, so no additional quota considerations apply
• Retain records showing the tea is unfermented and the jasmine is a flavoring, not a separate ingredient, to avoid reclassification
