A blended syrup primarily composed of coffee extracts and essences, flavored with vanilla, used for mixing into beverages like lattes and iced coffees. It falls under HTS 2101.12.38.00 as a preparation with a basis of coffee extracts, not qualifying as blended syrups under note 4 to chapter 17 due to its coffee-dominant composition.

Import Tips

• Verify the syrup's basis is coffee extracts (>50% by weight) via lab analysis to confirm 2101 classification over 2106

• Provide detailed ingredient breakdowns and production certificates to avoid reclassification as general food prep under 2106.90

• Avoid mislabeling as pure flavor syrups (Ch17); common pitfall leading to duties disputes
