Chapter 9Coffee, tea, mate and spices

The headings in this chapter of the AHECC, the Australian export classification published by the ABS. Each one opens on the codes it contains.

Chapter 9 covers coffee, tea, maté and spices raw or simply processed: roasted, decaffeinated, crushed, ground. Decaffeinated coffee stays in 0901 — decaffeination is not a preparation.

The trap is the preparation threshold. The moment a product becomes an extract, essence or concentrate — instant coffee, instant tea — it leaves this chapter for 2101. Coffee substitutes containing no coffee also belong to Chapter 21, while a mixture containing coffee stays here. Mixtures of spices remain in 0910 until they become compound preparations.
