HTS 2101.30.00 covers roasted chicory and other roasted coffee substitutes and extracts, essences and concentrates thereof under heading 2101 (extracts, essences and concentrates, of coffee, tea or maté and preparations with a basis…).
The general rate is 2.1¢/kg, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.1¢/kg. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 311920 (Coffee and Tea Manufacturing), an industry of 1,155 US establishments employing 23,998 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
