Last updated: April 2026 data

Hop extracts — concentrated isomerized or CO₂-extracted forms of Humulus lupulus — are a key input for the brewing industry, offering brewers a shelf-stable, consistent alternative to whole or pelletized hops for bittering and aroma. Germany is the dominant supplier, reflecting the Hallertau and other German hop-growing regions that produce widely traded extract grades; the United Kingdom and Australia also supply notable volumes, with New Zealand extracts prized for distinctive Southern Hemisphere aroma profiles. The single US tariff line 1302130000 covers all hop extract forms, and FDA food additive status governs admissibility for brewing applications. Importers should confirm that extract specifications — alpha acid content, solvent residue levels — meet TTB and buyer requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does hop extract differ from whole hops or hop pellets for classification purposes?

Whole hops and hop pellets classify under Chapter 12 (specifically HTS 1210) as the dried strobile of the hop plant. Hop extracts — produced by solvent or CO₂ extraction to concentrate alpha and beta acids — are vegetable extracts and classify under 1302130000. The extraction process is the key distinction; a product marketed as 'pellets' that is actually a compressed extract may still fall under 130213 depending on its composition.

What regulatory considerations apply when importing hop extracts for commercial brewing?

FDA treats hop extract as a food additive with GRAS status for use in beer. Importers supplying US breweries should ensure the extract was produced using approved solvents (e.g., CO₂ or ethanol) and that residual solvent levels comply with FDA limits. TTB may also have requirements for ingredients used in federally regulated alcohol production. Consulting a licensed customs broker and verifying FDA import alert status for the exporting establishment is recommended before the first shipment.
