Vanilla Coffee Syrup Blend from Mexico

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. This classification distinguishes it from pure sugar syrups or those solely for chapter 17 headings.

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
