Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the berry green tea is in individual-serving pouches
This sibling item applies to green tea in immediate packings under 3 kg when in bags for individual servings.
If the tea is fermented (black tea) with berry essences
Fermented tea falls under a different subheading, so this alternative applies if the product is not green tea.
If the berry essences are so strong that the mixture becomes a seasoning
Chapter note 1 directs such mixtures to heading 21.03 when they lose the essential character of tea.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the berry essences are natural flavorings and the organic certification is recognized by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for import
• The 150g pouches are immediate packings under 3 kg, so no special quota applies
• Be prepared to show that the berry essences do not turn the product into a mixed seasoning, which would shift it to heading 21.03
