Cut Coca Leaf Segments from Germany
Cut Coca Leaf Segments are coca leaves from the Erythroxylum coca plant that have been sliced into uniform pieces to facilitate drying or alkaloid extraction. They are classified under tariff item 1211.30.00 because the heading explicitly includes coca leaf whether or not cut, crushed or powdered, and their primary use in pharmaceutical alkaloid production aligns with the item's scope for plants used in pharmacy.
