Earl Grey Black Tea Bags from United States
Earl Grey Black Tea Bags are pre-portioned tea bags filled with fermented black tea flavoured with bergamot oil, packaged for retail brewing. They are classified under tariff item 0902.40.00 as 'Other black tea (fermented)' because flavouring does not affect classification, and the small package size places them outside 0902.30.00 which requires packings over 3 kg.

Import Tips
• Note that tea bags are considered immediate packings; if each retail unit weighs 3 kg or less, classification falls under 0902.30.00, not 0902.40.00
• Verify the bergamot flavouring does not add substances that alter the tea's essential character
• Declare the net weight of the tea contents, excluding packaging, to the CBSA
