Lupulin-Rich Hop Pellets are pellets designed to preserve lupulin glands for maximum aroma extraction in hazy IPAs. These pellets are made from hop cones and fall under tariff item 1210.20.00, which covers hop cones in pellet form. The high lupulin content does not change the classification as pelleted hop cones.
